Today, I started doing research in a completely new topic (new to me, that is). The plan is to work with a friend on this, I really hope it pans out.

Hi, this is my
My name is RJ, I'm a first year (first semester, actually) undergraduate student at Athabasca University. I'm mainly interested in Philosophy and Jurisprudence. My goal is to make it into a law school of sorts, within the next few years.
I'd love to get in touch with anyone who shares my interests.

hello! my name is kat, I'm an undergraduate astronomy & astrophysics and physics double major at a school somewhere in PA. Currently I'm working in a particle astrophysics lab, though that may change in the near future.

Obviously I'm super interested in space, but I am also absolutely fascinated by history, anthropology, and linguistics- so don't be surprised if you see me pop up in your notifications☺️

it's nice to meet all of you

I sometimes find myself thinking the following unhelpful and false thing: either you know nothing about a topic, or you can do cutting edge research on it, there's no useful point in between.

Looking at this math it is just gibberish to me. And I was the one who developed the algorithm and wrote the paper.

I hate academic writing.

I just finished reading "The Forbidden Kingdom" by Slauerhof. I'm still wrapping my head around it, but I enjoyed it immediately immensely.

Don't know what to make of this new auto-follow feature of philpapers... "Do you want to follow every professor, adjunct, postdoc and graduate student in your institution?" 😵

Scholar Social

A Mastodon instance 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.

"A Mastodon profile you can be proud to put on the last slide of a presentation at a conference"

"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.
