Sir Terry Pratchett was one of two people who I quoted directly in my dissertation. This line from Feet of Clay was the motto for my introductory chapter:

"This is where we’ve filled ourselves up with so many questions that they’re starting to overflow and become answers."

It resonated with me, because this is what doing research often feels like for me.

#Teachers and #academicmastodon :

Does anyone have a good substitute recommendation for using live google docs in the classroom, something that is privacy-conscious?

I often use a live #Google Doc, and sometimes a spreadsheet, having students work on tasks as a class.

Getting away from Google, Microsoft, etc. is the goal here but also preserving student #privacy. Even better if no login is required at all.

Aside from something like an Etherpad, most of the options seem to lead back to the big companies. Firing up my own #Etherpad instance might be an end goal but I won't get to that until summer...

Any suggestions? Please feel free to boost.

Shout-out to my colleagues from Leiden University, University of Applied Sciences Leiden, and mboRijnland, who are striking today in Leiden and The Hague.

They are protesting the announced budget cuts on higher education, and represent the start of a staggered Higher Education strike that will continue at least for the coming five weeks or so.

On this #InternationalWomensDay, let me highlight two #WomenInSTEM.
First, Amy Cromartie, who leads the following @EuroGeosciences #preprint:
egusphere.copernicus.org/prepr
Second, Devika Varma, who recently defended her #PhD #thesis. Her PhD work at @NIOZnieuws aimed to investigate #paleotemperature indicators based on #archaeal hydroxylated #tetraether #lipids (OH-isoGDGTs):

egusphere.copernicus.orgUtilizing Probability Estimates from Machine Learning and Pollen to Understand the Depositional Influences on Branched GDGT in Wetlands, Peatlands, and LakesAbstract. Branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGDGTs) serve as critical molecular biomarkers for the quantitative reconstruction of past environments, ambient temperature and pH across various archives. Despite their success, numerous issues persist that limit their application. The distribution of brGDGTs varies significantly based on provenance, resulting in biases in environmental reconstructions that rely on fractional abundances and derived indices, such as the MBT’5ME. This issue is especially significant in shallow lakes, wetlands, and peatlands within semi-arid and arid regions, where ecosystems are sensitive to diverse environmental and climatic factors. Recent advancements, such as machine learning techniques, have been developed to identify changes in sources; however, these techniques are insufficient for detecting mixed source environments. The probability estimates derived from five machine learning algorithms are employed here to detect provenance changes in brGDGT downcore records and to identify periods of mixed provenance. A new global modern database (n=2301) was compiled to train, validate, test, and apply these algorithms to two sedimentary records. Our findings are corroborated by pollen and non-pollen palynomorphs obtained from the identical records. These microfossil proxies are utilized to discuss changes in provenance, hydrology, and ecology that influence the distribution of brGDGTs. Probability estimates derived from Random Forest with a sigmoid calibration are most effective in detecting changes in brGDGT distribution. Minor changes in the relative contributions of brGDGTs provenance can significantly influence the distribution of brGDGTs, especially regarding the MBT'5ME index. This study introduces a novel brGDGT wetland index aimed at monitoring potential biases arising from wetland development.

Waking up to more deluge of crazy from the US, not only in #uspolitics but the crazies in #Bigtech. I'm almost ready to quit academia bc I'm so tired of all the #genai hype and bs. I didn't get into academia to endlessly sing the praises of text or clip art image generators. It was bad enough when learning analytics hit (what bs that was). I love human communication and collaboration, bring humans back to education! Why is everyone so under the #AI spell?

Gestern ist die #OEWeek2025 gestartet!

In dieser Woche liegt ein besonderes Augenmerk auf der #OERWorldMap, die Akteur*innen weltweit vernetzen möchte.

Passend dazu berichtet das BMBF heute darüber, welche Ziele mit der Förderung der OER World Map im Rahmen von OERinfo verfolgt werden und wie die #OER-Weltkarte zur Kultur der Digitalität beitragen kann.

okay I'm being a lazy academic here but first step of doing research is always asking other people for a starting point.

hey #Academia #AcademicMastodon #LazyWeb etc.

do you have a favourite journal paper using psychological research to question the validity of psychology in minority contexts? or postulating or showing that things don't really generalise the way a bunch of old white men in the 19th century are on their high horse about?

it's an intro psych class and frankly I know the research and reviews are out there, I'd dearly like to tear the 19th and 20th century founders and pillars of #Psychology a new asshole and put them firmly in the rubbish bin as a response to the white guy teaching the class… being a white guy.

I incredibly like being able to qualitatively and quantitatively dismiss early theorists in a number of fields (wherein the early theorists are stereotypically white males with no regard for the rest of the world) for the idiotic, misogynistic, racist, self-centered dickwad pieces of narcissistic trash they were.

and no I do not have any respect for the basic foundations of the European and American academic establishments of the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries and neither should anyone else, frankly.

unfortunately books don't count for this, this class is solely allowing me to use peer-reviewed papers, and solely allowing papers which examine either original research or are a survey of previous research.

and failing having that, can someone please help me figure out better search terms? because while I know what I'm looking for and I know I've seen papers to that end while making other searches before, previous me did not save links.

ta much! a groysn danke. many thanks.
