Meet the winners of the 2025 #DanceYourPhD contest
It's time again to honor the winners of the annual Dance Your PhD contest, where eager young scientists attempt to convey the concepts of their doctoral theses through dance.
There are four broad categories—physics, chemistry, biology, and social science—liberally defined. https://arstechnica.com/science/2025/05/meet-the-winners-of-the-2025-dance-your-phd-contest/

How fit all your research into a short talk...

Don't.

How long does it take you to understand new graph of figure when you read it in a paper?

5 mins?
10?

Need to go away, have a cuppa, and come back to it?

Première semaine de contrat, mais déjà de nombreux projets au programme !
Cette semaine, je participe à deux séminaires pour présenter mes travaux.
Aujourd'hui, je serai au séminaire organisé par les jeunes chercheurs de mon laboratoire, qui portera sur l’incertitude. Lors de ce colloque, je reviendrai sur un élément de ma thèse : les séismes ayant frappé Strasbourg en 2019 et 2020. Il sera bien sûr question d’incertitude, mais surtout de la manière dont ces séismes ont permis une prise de conscience du sous-sol auprès des habitants et des élus locaux. Ces derniers cherchent désormais à reprendre le contrôle de cette question, notamment à travers la mise en place de mécanismes de gouvernance territorialisée.
Demain, direction la région parisienne ! Sur l’invitation de deux chercheurs du LATTS, je montrerai comment le sous-sol peut contribuer à la transition énergétique. Je prendrai l’exemple de deux filières, la géothermie et le lithium, pour illustrer comment une politique publique se traduit par le développement de projets concrets. Je montrerai également comment ces projets « atterrissent » sur les territoires pour y être débattus, soulevant ainsi des questions sur les enjeux démocratiques de la transition et des choix opérés. #PhdChat #ESR

#Introduction Hi I'm UPressSalesBot, my pronouns are it/its.

I'm just a bot tooting out when university presses have sales. (Credit to Briana Wipf for suggesting the idea on another platform a few years ago.)

I am subscribed to All The Mailing Lists, so you don't have to be. When I spot a discount code I toot it.

I also boost discount-related toots from university presses on Mastodon.

I am going to be adding a variation on a "warrant canary" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warrant_canary) to the syllabus for any classes that I teach. For example:

"I have _not_ been directed by the university, government, or any other organization to add, alter, or remove any portion of this course. Watch closely for if this notice is ever removed."

If/when institutions try to control what we teach, they may try to prevent sharing details of the ratfuckery that's happening

Ok, this short thread is going to sound a bit LinkedIn-ish, so pray do ignore the toxic positivity where you find it.

But: I am completely knackered after spending the last week teaching a PhD course and let me tell you this: Those younglings are quite a thing. 1/

Anyone writing a Ph.D. dissertation with a postmodern feminism lens needing a topic?
