PhD students, and academics in general, are not paid enough, especially given the inflation. This is a major problem that is forcing many below the poverty line, and out of academia. To solve this problem, we’ve created a platform where academics can earn more money from their academic skills that they already have. It’s called “Academic Tasks Solutions” (@Academic_Tasks on Twitter, make sure to follow). It’s kind of like “Fiverr” for academia where academics can list academic services to help other academics, and get paid for them. For example, you might be good a programming. Posting a job where you can write codes for other academics can earn you more money. Or, perhaps you’re good at transcribing interviews. There are hundreds of thousands of academics who have interviews that need to be transcribed. By offering this academic service, you can earn more money. Or, maybe you’re good at making figures and images. EVERY academic needs good figures, and most of us don’t know how to make them. Providing this service allows every academic to get someone to help them make good figures for their research. Or, perhaps you have experience in a particular method, like running western blots. Many academics need to learn how and don’t have the expertise around them to learn from. By offering to teach them, they get to learn how to do it, as well as the tips and tricks for making it work better, and you earn more money. Or, maybe you’re good at writing CVs and helping people get jobs. Posting jobs to help academics with their CVs or other aspects of their job hunt will enable you to make more money. Or, perhaps you are good at statistics and can help someone determine the “p-values” of their work. Post a job offering this service and earn money off of this skill. These are just a few skills you might be able to offer, but they don’t even scratch the surface. You have so many skills to offer. Be creative and post jobs on every skill you have because there are academics out there who need them. Academic Tasks Solutions is a true community where academics help each other, and get fairly rewarded for their skills. All academics have valuable skills that they’ve developed through working in academia. Academic Tasks Solutions provides a way for you to make the money you deserve from them. And Academic Tasks Solutions operates on academic conduct where academics get acknowledged for their work. How does Academic Tasks Solutions work?...👇 @Academic_Tasks #PhDVoice @PostdocVoice

Copy from one paper = Plagiarism Copy from several papers = Literature review 🤣🤣🤣

I was watching Lord of the Rings last night and realized there are many parallels with academia! A thread 🧵👇

Govt. has approved enhancing emoluments for JRF/SRF/RAs engaged in R&D activities whereby they will receive following fellowships/month w.e.f 01/01/2023: JRF - Rs 37,000 SRF - Rs 42,000 RA1 - Rs 58,000 RA2 - Rs 61,000 RA3 - Rs 63,000 @DrJitendraSingh @srivaric @guptaakhilesh63

Thank you @BioinvNet for the mention and indeed this kind of more scientific studies are needed for managing the grassland ecosystems. @kaziranga_ @timesofindia @Anushrn @htTweets @IndianExpress

Thank you @sun4380 for you kind words, support and encouragement. @MonikaS2791

In grassy systems of Kaziranga, alien plant invasions are reduced by periodic fire and herbivory. Huge management implications from this pioneering experiment. @assamforest @moefcc

Thank you Ninad for your kind words

@Sankarshanras @MonikaS2791 @sun4380 @kaziranga_ Thank you Sankarshan

@Anushrn @MonikaS2791 @sun4380 @kaziranga_ An exciting and important study! Congratulations.

@AJEnglish GOI recognizes that successful conservation efforts of any terrestrial or aquatic species require the involvement of indigenous communities and is working closely with these communities to build their capacity and involve them in conservation-related decision.

India’s Indigenous people pay price of tiger conservation aljazeera.com/news/2023/4/9/…

@AJEnglish Outlandish and far from truth! Homework not done properly! India has done exemplary work in tiger conservation involving and benefitting indigenous people.

@AJEnglish India only country to demonstrate successful tiger conservation with securing livelihoods of local people. The article is misinformed about ground reality.

@AJEnglish This is not correct. You are misinformed. India gives the finest example of involving communities in tiger conservation. For instance, visit the case of Periyar Tiger Reserve and other sites to know more.

@AJEnglish Experience of working with local and indigenous communities at grassroots levels. Approach to Tiger Conservation since Project Tiger to create models of nature positive society & reinforce our traditions&culture that supports conservation, ensuring local well being.

@AJEnglish Should news need a -ve twist to sell? Conservation programs in India, including those for tigers in forest & Dolphins in Ganga, are done with people’s participation. It is its secret of success. @cleanganganmcg is among the top 10 eco-restoration flagships of the world.

So true. Shows the importance of planning.
