The Angry Academic

Today I’m not an angry academic. I am a sad academic. #RIPMaggieSmith

@STEMCELLTech Sure but can’t be a stemcellfie

@AcademicAngry Our contest has evolved over the years, as we aim to feature beautiful images (by incredible researchers!) beyond stem cells. Now, submissions of human- or animal-derived cells are accepted.

The results are in! 🏆 Here are the winners of this year's #StemCellfie Contest: Grand Prize: @AndreannaBurman (left) Newcomer: Jan Cheng (top right) STEMCELL Employee Vote: Thea Guy (bottom right)

@scottishscicomm Why?

@RuPaulsDragRace @TheVivienne Yayay I love Sharron needles 🤩🤩

Having now been a reviewer for several MDPI journals I can say so with confidence these journals are AWFUL! They will publish anything for a quick buck- do yourself a favour and do not even consider them.

@hannah_schacter Works both ways

A hopefully uncontroversial, non-hot take: Giving your students grace when the world is falling apart doesn't make you a less rigorous or effective teacher, it makes you human.

@SylviaLawler 🙄

@hgupta84 @AcademicChatter This stress extends well beyond academia! We aren’t special in this regard

Raise your hand if you have academic fear of failure 🙋‍♂️@AcademicChatter

Two words that make my skin crawl, ‘…a thread’. Most of the time it’s imbeciles writing them too 👋😤🙄

@dcansugurer @PhDVoice @AcademicChatter Do

@ohiomycete @AcademicChatter Need to normalise unlimited word count from journals then

Normalize describing all methods in a paper, even if they were done "as described in [16]." Because [16] did it "as described by [9]", and [9] cites an abstract from the 70s that is unavailable. 🤦‍♂️ @AcademicChatter

@DrMarinaHarris ‘You should work in academia’

Whats the worst mental health advice you've ever received?

@jtrebach Can you?

u can tell a lot about someone by their favorite enzyme

@lauraannehind @AcademicChatter Why not use a reference manager? Life is too short for this shit

Me, a PhD student also doing this @AcademicChatter #AcademicChatter #phdchat #phdlife

@jlphistory Toxic by Britney Spears

The toxic environment or academia on a global scale is really getting to me. Is it just me? How to cope with this?!

@StruanB Toxic environment?

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary Big thanks to all my followers!

How is everyone? The world is a weird place and academia is hard as it is. Toxic even. Let me hear your truths! ❤️ @AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter
