According to conversations I had today at my regional VA clinic, #DOGE induced #firings or reductions or whatever-the-fuck you want to call them is squarely targeting #supervisors at the moment.
The numbers for my area's command block is 400 positions in total. This C-block covers 3 major cities, and there are 3 of these blocks in the state, with 1 larger, 1 smaller.

I’d like to share with you the wanton laziness of my supervisors. They want me to stay put and work. I dare not leave my chair for there will be consequences.

state management and durable execution.
The LA County Board of Supervisors wants to reduce the number of public meetings it holds. Bad move. Totally anti-democratic. https://bit.ly/3Rexj1Z #LA_County #Supervisors #Los_Angeles
If you had to read a #CaseStudy on how academics (including #DoctoralWriters and #Supervisors) are actually using #ArtificialIntelligence writing tools, what would you like the case study to cover?
Asking as part of ongoing research.
The whole #AI thing is a moving target dictated by non-educational imperatives, so, I'm trying to design a case study that is, to some extent, future-proof.

"How's your PhD going?" A study on mental health

journals.plos.org“How is your thesis going?”–Ph.D. students’ perspectives on mental health and stress in academiaMental health issues among Ph.D. students are prevalent and on the rise, with multiple studies showing that Ph.D. students are more likely to experience symptoms of mental health-related issues than the general population. However, the data is still sparse. This study aims to investigate the mental health of 589 Ph.D. students at a public university in Germany using a mixed quantitative and qualitative approach. We administered a web-based self-report questionnaire to gather data on the mental health status, investigated mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety, and potential areas for improvement of the mental health and well-being of Ph.D. students. Our results revealed that one-third of the participants were above the cut-off for depression and that factors such as perceived stress and self-doubt were prominent predictors of the mental health status of Ph.D. students. Additionally, we found job insecurity and low job satisfaction to be predictors of stress and anxiety. Many participants in our study reported working more than full-time while being employed part-time. Importantly, deficient supervision was found to have a negative effect on Ph.D. students’ mental health. The study’s results are in line with those of earlier investigations of mental health in academia, which likewise reveal significant levels of depression and anxiety among Ph.D. students. Overall, the findings provide a greater knowledge of the underlying reasons and potential interventions required for advancing the mental health problems experienced by Ph.D. students. The results of this research can guide the development of effective strategies to support the mental health of Ph.D. students.
Having a good #LineManager in #HigherEducation is an absolute boon & game changer.
After decades of VERY poor, uninspiring, useless and professionally & mentally damaging line management in #UK #universities, I had absolutely no idea of what a good line manager actually does.

I'm just so damn excited for #PIC s3. I didn't like how season 2 was structured, but while listening to #GreatestTrek Seven of Gary, I remembered how much I love how Season 2 built up the lore of the #supervisors and #travelers.
#SanFrancisco "#killer #police #robots" plan put on hold - CBS News
San Francisco #supervisors voted Tuesday to put the brakes on a #controversial #policy that would have let police use robots for #deadlyForce, reversing course just days after their approval of the #plan generated fierce #pushback and #warnings about the #militarization and #automation of #policing.

@schoolingdiana @phdstudents Good luck! I'm sure you'll smash it like many of us. I'm only one month in and enjoying my PhD so much. We have a great community of #supervisors, #postdocs and #students in our lab/ department. I'm fortunate I have formed a great supervisor/ student relationship, and can trust each of my supervisory teams. A great #relationship is certainly essential for PhD study.
