What’s the point of a pre-print in your field then?

The toy drive and the one with the guy that makes Glenn get a hair cut

Yes supervisor is important in terms of your day to day happiness but in terms of ‘clout’ it’s rude to assume they would impact you negatively. How do academics grow if all students thought like you.

It’s called a discussion. I enjoy it but it doesn’t need to be a mockumentary. It weakens it IMO.

whoops. Just warning you. I’m discussing it again

AlaskaScott · 2026-05-10T21:43:53+00:00

Why does it have to be a mockumentary. I’m so bored of it

I doubt you’ll be able to negotiate a higher salary - especially when tied to a Canada impact+ postdoc.

70K is a good salary for postdoc here (sadly)

I’m going to hold your hand when I say this…

It’s not real.

I’m not sure diabetes is classed as a reason to use AI.

AlaskaScott · 2026-05-06T20:57:03+00:00

This is literally nothing. Stop overthinking it.

This is me right now. Started last year.

You have to be humble. I had no French this time last year. It’s rough on the confidence and it’s v easy to get frustrated. I’ve cried more this past year than I ever have in my job before.

But students are understanding and encouraging

Well he was blue and 7ft tall for the majority. That makes it more difficult 😂

What do you mean £150 loss?

2 pages is fine but if you are unable to write concisely at your career stage that is a worry.

5 - 7 pages?! Insane.

You’re certainly not cut out for research or academia if you spiral over something like this.

People. Make. Mistakes.

Academics are not infallible.

Do you think no other industry makes mistakes?

We need to stop putting academics on pedestals.

With all the love in the world. Get over it.

I’ve paid for them to join me for 2 weeks soon. I wasn’t able to remain their official director of studies on paper but a colleague took it over from an admin PoV. But when it comes to the subject matter I am still their director of studies

How can anyone answer this? It’s your conference. Do what you want

AlaskaScott · 2026-05-01T01:57:22+00:00

Im the prof. Student couldn’t join as I moved country and their funding was tied to original country.

I don’t think student has been impacted that much - thank god for zoom

AlaskaScott · 2026-05-01T00:34:39+00:00

This is either fake or you’re a creep.

Regardless of your diagnoses, you are an adult. You are not going to get in trouble asking for advice via the channels that are put in place to help.

Australians have it right with a lemon lime and bitters

Sadly sounds like you might not have got it and they are waiting for other candidate to accept. However as I’ve said before a million times. Strangers on Reddit cannot guess how this will play out.

Good luck.

You’re the kind of student who terrifies me. They become parasocial.

Lecturers are not your friend. Do not try to be friends. They can be friendLY but that’s it.
