ADHD frustrations; you win some, you lose some Show more
On the one hand, I'm super frustrated that I forgot to grab the snacks for tonight's seminar before leaving the house. I even thought about putting the bag next to the front door, in proper "this hard-learned #ADHD compensatory strategy works" style.
On the other hand, at least my off board brain reminded me early enough that I can get others on the way out of town?

Federated microblogging for academics
Scholar Social is a microblogging platform for researchers, grad students, librarians, archivists, undergrads, academically inclined high schoolers, educators of all levels, journal editors, research assistants, professors, administrators—anyone involved in academia who is willing to engage with others respectfully.
We strive to be a safe space for queer people and other minorities, recognizing that there can only be academic freedom where the existence and validity of interlocutors' identities is taken as axiomatic.

"Official" monthly journal club!
(Participation is, of course, optional)
Scholar Social features a monthly "official" journal club, in which we try to read and comment on a paper of interest.
Any user of Scholar Social can suggest an article by sending the DOI by direct message to @socrates@scholar.social and one will be chosen by random lottery on the last day of the month. We ask that you only submit articles that are from *outside* your own field of study to try to ensure that the papers we read are accessible and interesting to non-experts.
