Spent hours trying to figure out how to split one LateX document into two, including the literature list, line numbers and references between the two files, to satisfy the conditions of the journal.
The journal, in the submission process: "Now that you have uploaded all your files, select an order to merge all of them into a single file to send to referees".

"For decades, trying to compete with American institutions and companies has been difficult. The United States was a magnet for top researchers, scientists and academics. In general, budgets were bigger, pay was bigger, labs and equipment were bigger. So were ambitions."

What I'm up to this morning... #Research #PostdocLife
I recently got my first paper review request (from a proper publisher, but a rather low relevance / very specialized journal). I saw that the paper was not great, but I accepted anyways to gain some experience.
The paper is really horrible, I am sure that LLMs were involved in writing it, and it's 25 pages long :'D Why did I agree to this again?

Kaffee in der Mittagssonne und danach dank ganz analoger Lektüre für die digitalen #Wortgeschichte|n sogar ein wenig #Balkonoffice - es könnte schlechter sein 
Guten Morgen vom #GöttingenCampus!
#Samstagslektüre und die schwierige Frage: Neue Runde #Ernährung und #Ernährungsnarrative oder doch lieber erst den neuen #Boxroman? 
#Schreibtischplaudereien: Nein, GoogleBooks, wenn ich in Quellen des 17. Jahrhunderts #exuliren suche, dann meine ich NICHT #exilieren und möchte auch nicht einfach ungefragt die Ergebnisse dafür angezeigt bekommen 
Nächste Runde #Samstagslektüre, nächste Runde #Ernährung (stay tuned!), heute #KJL Edition. - Und bei euch so?
Wieder #Samstagslektüre, wieder #Ernährung, diesmal #Gegenwartsliteratur und in der Balkonsonne.

Interrupting my usual programming to say that I read my first ever graphic novel/memoir/anything! Thanks to @tenspeedpress for sending me This Beautiful Ridiculous City by Kay Sohini, which finally prompted me to engage with this genre.
As a former urban literary scholar this was a return to my urban literary roots, and just a beautiful representation of the city overall. Full disclosure that Kay and I were at Stony Brook University doing our Ph.D.s in different lit departments around the same time. We’ve worked together before (she invited me to present on an MLA panel on careers back when I was about a year into my new life in publishing).
Reading books by people you know (even tangentially) is always a unique experience because you’re seeing the world through the eyes of someone that you’ve met, engaged with. It’s just a really different experience than reading works by a stranger (which is the majority of my reading).
What is really stunning about this work is that it isn’t just a book, it’s a beautifully conceived object. The artwork and color palette are stunning. I immediately felt like I’ll definitely reread and return to this book to take in the visuals and the nuances of the story.
It’s also a book I could see leaving out on my coffee table, or some other flat surface that needs a little life. It’s so vibrant, and a book I could see myself just thumbing through casually to brighten my day.
It deals with serious life challenges, but I think the seriousness and introspection of the work is offset by the brightness and vibrancy of the artwork.
10/10 would recommend. (And believe it or not I read a TON and don’t recommend or post about a large percentage of what I read).
QOTD: have you read any graphic books?

What is disappearance? In short, it is a repressive tactic used by authoritarian states to terrorize the civilian population into submission.
While the term “the disappeared” emerges in the aftermath of authoritarianism in Guatemala (1966) and Operation Condor in South America (perhaps most famously General Pinochet and his reign of terror in Chilean, but also juntas across South America including in Argentina), it describes a tactic that has long been in use and continues to be used by authoritarian regimes across the world, so it’s a concept to be aware of and understand.
Disappearance is characterized by illegal abduction, secret detention centers, torture, death, and unofficial burial.
Disappearance was, in theory, a way to avoid responsibility. The state maintained plausible deniability while effectively terrorizing their citizens into submission. The message is clear, you could be next.
QOTD: Have you heard of disappearing?

Stippvisite in der #GRIMMWELT in #Kassel, um die Dauerausstellung und ihr ‚lexikografisches Erzählen‘ genauer unter die Lupe zu nehmen.
Weihnachtsspaziergang, vorhin.
This month is my #PhDThesis Anniversary of... 10 years! 
In case anyone wants to have a look it can be downloaded there:
Role of the hippocampus in goal representation : insights from behavioural and electrophysiological approaches
Yes I probably thought at the time that 10y from then I would have a permanent position, a house, maybe a family and at least a few pets... but I find it hard to settle somewhere "for the rest of your life"... maybe that's why I study spatial decision-making 
Leaving you with my favourite quote (source unknown):
