this week, more about tiny texts and how to use them in chapters to build the red thread of argument #acwri #phd #thesis #phdchat #ecrchat #supervision #phdadvice patthomson.net/2019/02/11/ti…

tiny texts – small is powerful

I work a lot with tiny texts. Abstracts. Storyboards. Story threads. Lines of argument. Tiny texts are my academic writing tool of choice. If I had to abandon all the other writing strategies I hav…

The golden rule of #peerreviewing is “review for others as you would have others review for you.” How? By following the guide published by @MonsoonMat and @ClimateSnack on @nature. Spoiler alert: they work perfectly in any discipline. #academicpublishing nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

The @IPCC_CH #SP15 uses a lot of ‘very likely’s and ‘high’, ‘very high’s when talking about #uncertainty - here’s a little doodle I did explaining how I remember what they mean... using a different kind of pie chart #scicomm #climatechange #IPCCReport

Shocked. I am *shocked* by this finding. NOT! As a sr scientist once said: a blog (or other #scicomm) is viewed as a charming eccentricity in a senior faculty member. For a jr faculty, though, it denotes a serious lack of focus...or worse; and my own experience bears this out.

Do Universities Value Public Engagement? Not Much, Their Policies Suggest

Scholars analyzed the language in documents from more than 100 institutions describing tenure-and-promotion criteria.

#SciComm for the kids: took the Ecology class of our local Laramie High School to the river for some exposure to and appreciation for the fishy world in their backyard. Needless to say, THEY LOVED IT | Next generation of #TeamFish in the making! 😁🐟💦
