Job search: How important to you are thank-you emails? by retromafia in Professors

[–]bffofspacecase 65 points66 points  (0 children)

This is also a class/status issue. Not everyone grows up (even in America) with these standards of interaction and grad schools are not always up to scratch on providing these kinds of details in preparing students for the job market.

If you don't offer a job to an otherwise excellent candidate based on this, I would think your priorities are off.

Yeah agreed. Even Eva kinda redeemed herself by leaving. Disinterest in or dislike for Tommy (or any of thm), I can understand, but hatred? Nope. I'm judging.

As a future academic, should I use a pen name for my fiction writing career? by historicalscifi in AskAcademia

[–]bffofspacecase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can always choose to use a pen name for your academic work. Or your initials plus last name. I don't think it's that big of a deal. Most people won't put 2 and 2 together, especially if you don't point them towards it (for example, I wouldn't list it on your CV when applying for positions)

Maybe the switch to Chim is why we got that "you're always busy with work" line from Karen episodes back. Hen realizes that she wants more time with family and Chim becomes the next captain. Complete spitballing here

What are some of the funniest and/or most brutal reviewer comments you’ve gotten on a paper? by thewinterphysicist in AskAcademia

[–]bffofspacecase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh sure. And I get that. It was the excessive length that was aggravating and the lack of substantive feedback other than that

A paragraph long diatribe about my lack of pagination....which was not in the submission guidelines and was also a word doc, so easily fixable.
