Hi there old and new followers! Just to be sure, let me re-introduce myself. I study the credibility of scientific claims and scientists, how that credibility is built and maintained, contested and destroyed. To that end, I look at collaboration, integrity, rhetoric, and a lot more. 1/2

GIVE AWAY! // AKA WE DID IT AGAIN!

Since The Night Guest is coming out in paperback we decided to try to gift another copy bitten by Uggi. And it went … a little *too* well. (See picture 🧵)

Like and share this post and on December 30th I will select a winner and send them this teeth marked copy!

"RemoveWindowsAI" is a script created by zoicware, available on GitHub, that does exactly what it says: it remove every AI feature in Windows 11. Do what you wish to do with this information. I'm sharing this because some folks are forced to use Win11 at work or other places for any reasons.

I might never visit the US again, if no one reserses this nightmarish folly. Overall, they'll not miss me, individually. But there are many me's.
It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted

Someone in the North-East of the US has my last name and the same initial. She is desperately trying to either get a job, or switch jobs. How do I know? I am receiving the rejections to her job applications in my personal inbox. After quite a few of them, I thought I'd take action. 1/

One imaginary sees the scientific literature as a gigantic library, with texts to be read. Another sees it as a database, with facts to be mined. Our analysis clarifies contrasting expectations informing current publishing innovations, and their epistemic and political risks.

If you or your prospective PhD students are affected by NSF's archiving of programmes, we may be able to offer a tiny bit of relief to some candidates in the sense that we (some Dutch universities) can (still) offer external PhD candidate status, tuition-free. 1/

Afgelopen week ontving ik bericht dat WML, die ons drinkwater levert, en daarin monopolist is, haar leveringsvoorwaarden aanpast. Vrolijk schrijven ze dat het me altijd vrij staat, wanneer ik het niet met de nieuwe voorwaarden eens ben, mijn contract op te zeggen.

Different from early-career or seniority, mid-career is a single point in time. In the middle between one's first formal day as a scholar and one's last. If those are the first day of employment in research and retirement, then *today* is my mid-career day! #midcareerday #academia When is yours?
