I didn't quit academia, I simply recognised that desire (for a job) inevitably causes suffering (admin, grant writing) and perpetuates the endless cycle of death and rebirth (moving cities for postdocs). I transcended academia.

my strongest and most correct typographic opinion is that instead of making part of an italicized passage roman for emphasis, you should italicize it harder

I'm working on an unbiased article on dogs for the New York Times. I'm not looking to speak to dog owners or veterinarians at this time but if you hate dogs and think dogs are controlling your mind and that they should all be launched into the sun I would like to hear from you


Hello. I am (1) a former academic (2) now working in a non-academic job and (3) someone who works in the tech sector (4) with a non-traditional background. If you are a (1) or a (4) and want to be a (2) or a (3), and would like some advice or support, get in touch.

Ongoing thread of unusual party ideas I've heard lately (some great, some terrible). 100 beers of solitude: the party starts with 100 beers on a table in the middle of the room, and nobody is allowed to talk until all of them are finished.


the ideal peer review process involves searching the entire planet for the 2-3 people that know the absolute most about a very niche topic and then *they* ignore the email for several months and eventually some grad students do it.

It's not peer as in social status obviously but the ideal peer review process involves searching the entire planet for the 2-3 people that know the absolute most about a very niche topic and then *they* review the work for publication.

It might do more for human knowledge if donors paid new unemployed PhDs to contribute to Wikipedia for a year, instead of funding fancy named-chair professorships. We could probably get 3 or 4 work-from-anywhere wikipostdocs for each year of named chair funding.
