What do PhDs do when Bored in Lockdown?
What do PhDs do when Bored in Lockdown? I finished up my PhD and started a brand new job 2 months before the pandemic hit the world. I met friendly new people, dressed up suit and tie and was eager to hit the ground running. Little did I know, mandatory home office was about to change everything. Let me know what you think of this type of video, it sure was fun to make! WHAT DO YOU DO IN LOCKDOWN AS A PHD? Comment below! ???

Good article and call to talk about authorship early. "The authorship rows that sour scientific collaborations."

Switch lab senior year of undergrad?
Hi! I’m currently a rising senior undergrad and have been working in a geochem lab for the last year. I’m supposed to be starting to write a thesis with my adviser and spend another year in this lab, but I have come to realize how disinterested I am in geology as a whole and want to switch to ecology. Should I quit the lab I’m in right now and find one in ecology, or should I stick with it and write my thesis? My intentions are to apply to masters programs in ecology later this year. Thank you!

I’m a jerk but need to commiserate
My family doesn’t get what I do (I’m a postdoc in STEM) and I just need a moment to embrace that I’m a jerk and judge others when they try unsuccessfully to relate to my experience. Example 1: my grandma got an honorary doctorate at 75 and now insists people refer to her as Dr. LastName. I find this so offensive as someone who toiled for years for my MS and PhD degrees. Example 2: my stepmom who works in development (i.e., university fund raising) asked me why I thought my job was stressful. I told her about the lag between collecting data and publishing can be years and so often comes down to stochastic reviews by three people. And how I sometimes miss the feeling of finality after the semester wrapped as an undergrad. She blinked and said “oh yeah. Sometimes my proposals can take months before I find out if they’re successful. It's so hard.” Just no. Ha. People have no idea.

I'm out of academia. Taking charge of my mental health and money now
My anxiety and low self-esteem reached its worst during my PhD (in a STEM field) in UK, where I realised I was just a money making machine for the University and no one really cared for my work. I finished my PhD, and then pursued a post-doctorate hoping if I produced an applicable research that people could use, then I'll be valued. Nope. The only upside was, I was now able to make rent and essentials through the post-doc salary (as opposed to the PhD times). I questioned what all of this was for. All my work, my time, was hoping to get recognition that I was good at something. Monetary recognition being one of them. At the end of my post-doc, with multiple publications in good journals, all I had was an opportunity to do another 1.5 year post-doc with an annual salary which was £7000 less than than my previous position. Screw it. I was out of academia. Have just joined the industry and am pissed off, because I didn't research enough before getting into the University. I jumped on an opportunity of PhD, because that's what the "brilliant" people did. Because I assumed my supervisor had my best interests in his mind. All lies. Supervisor couldn't care less about my work, he was only in it so he gets free-labour for his spin-out company, and how to make a sellable product. University only cared about if I was paying them their fees. It's all about money!! I now realise its all about money. Doesn't matter how 'great' my research is, if I don't make money for someone, no one cares. I'm going to try my best to never let myself be in a position where I am almost begging to make rent. Never again. Academia, I'm sure is great for some people, but for me, it was not what it markets itself as...a place of knowledge. BS. If the knowledge is not profitable, no one cares. If money is what works, then I'm going for it. Screw "working for the good of humanity". I had a plush job earlier, which I left for my PhD, thinking I was going to make a "difference", I'm going to go and make my services useful to someone who wants to compensate properly. Who shows appreciation beyond just saying, "oh that's nice, how can we sell this?". I don't want to check my bank balance everytime I'm out with my friends, to see how much buying that dinner would set me back by. My skills are valued in the industry. I'm sticking to the industry. For all the promises the University made about establishing me as an "expert" in the field, all I got was huge debt and mental illness. It's not worth it. I'm worth more. I'm taking charge of my own life now, money, health (physical and mental) and time. Thanks for reading my rant. I apologise in advance if I offended anyone in academia.

Entry Level Computer science journal to publish
So, I am a high school student looking to publish a paper I have been working on. I wish to, at least try to, publish my paper in some journals. How can I shortlist journals? My paper is based on author profiling for fake news detection using machine learning. Also, the journal should be cheap ( preferably free ). I see some journals that cost 2000$. I can't pay that much to publish. Submitted July 30, 2021 at 06:01AM by The-Bored-Guy10 via reddit https://ift.tt/3yiYgXC
I don’t know how to work things out with my advisors/chairs
Warning. This is a long story. I already graduated and got my degree. I have two chairs, one junior and one senior. So my school is a top school in it's field and most graduates go into academia. When I told my advisors that I was going into industry last year, they didn’t like the decision but they didn’t say anything because it was my decision after all. But I think things started there. I wanted to take an internship during my last year after I finish my dissertation and they demanded that I need to see the paper through revision and publication. Otherwise they wouldn't let me take an internship. I was made to believe that I need to publish my dissertation in order to graduate,which was not the case. I was able to finish the paper. During my internship (this is after I defended and passed) we need to revise the paper for publication. They got very unhappy that I was too slow with revision while I was juggling interviewing and my internship. I said let's get another co-author (at this point the paper was 95% done) to run some robustness tests. They rejected and put me as second author and put the junior chair as the first author. I though this is how things works and I am afraid they will take away my degree and give me a hard time to graduate, so I had to say yes. After that I shared everything I had worked on for the paper (code , data etc) and answered questions that junior chair has about my code. She submitted the paper as the first author. I thought that was the end of it until another revision round came. The junior faculty now claims that my code does not work for her and she cannot do revision work. Truth is she not only didn't tell me what's the issue when I asked her but also didn't seem to open the code at all. She kept asking where are things but I already answered those months ago. She claimed that only I can do the revision work because she cannot replicate my results. Senior faculty believed her that there's something wrong with my code and said "replication issue is a problem for both the publication and degree". I have tons of proof that my code works and I have log files from servers to show that I didnt make any results up. I got really pissed and afraid at the same time that they are using my degree to threaten me. I am going to have a conversation with my PhD office about this. I am also worried about my degree and my reputation as my senior faculty said she will work with someone in my current company. Months after I graduate I still feel I am being taken advantage of. At this point I have every high anxiety whenever I receive an email from them and it starts to take a toll on my mental health and sleep.

How do you interconnect different areas of your life such that the values you learn from one helps you become a better version of yourself in another area of life?
I was watching American Olympian swimmer Caleb Dressel's interview. He mentions how drumming has helped him find a rhythm inside the water and the he believes in life everything is interconnected. Like music helps him in water, and maybe that some lessons in swimming helps him be a husband or better dog owner. I thought that it was such a cool way of looking at life as a whole and finding rhythm in each area. I'm curious to know how are different area of your life interconnected and what are some epiphanies that you had that were useful in another area?
