incredible how the professor whose research goal is "to synthesize tools and algorithms to aid the development of reliable embedded and cyber-physical systems and devices, using techniques from formal methods" says my research is quite different from his interests and expertise.

Design of Cyber-Physical Systems Using Macro-CAD: whole-lifecycle model-based systems engineering, architecture, simulation & analysis by integrating formal methods in a verifiable virtual machine

revising the title of my research topic for the Nth time but it's fine -

just found out my outside committee member has funded research associate positions available. his research is very close to my own though, so I hope I will make a strong appeal to hire me.

Read this morning:

An Open Letter to the Lead Authors of ‘Protecting 30% of the Planet for Nature: Costs, Benefits and Implications.’

some pretty devastating feedback! - said the authors of that paper were trying to invent a new form of #colonialism. #checkYourself #decoloniality

instead of grading papers this semester, I'll be co-authoring the class slides and writing the quizzes for a new #systemsThinking course.

alright - I sent my paper draft to three professors at my university and a PhD student who can respond to ideas about social justice and climate change.

thanks for the advice and validation, y'all! 💚

@Cyborgneticz thanks. at least it is good to know this isn't normal.

I am wondering if what I am writing is not familiar enough to them. Should I seek out researchers around the world who have knowledge closer to my research area, and ask them to read my drafts?

@jaranta Thanks - I will look for that!

so is it normal to not be able to find anyone who will read your paper drafts? including advisors, committee members, professors, friends, et al.

should I just pay someone to read my paper and give me feedback? like really...
