Aufgeben gilt nicht.
Habe daher wieder ein Profil auf Academia.edu angelegt und werde dort immer mal wieder klassische & neue Paper zur freien Verfügung einstellen.
Der Zugang kostet zwar leider, aber das hat meine (inzwischen abgeschaltete) Homepage ja leider auch getan.
Habe Mastodon als Dialog-Profil angegeben und freue mich, einige an Wissenschaft & Wissenschaftskommunikation Interessierte auch dort zu treffen.

Smuggled myself into BIGGICon last night. Well, smuggled is a strong word, given I was invited, but had not registered because I didn’t think I could go.
…what’s BIGGICon? Time for a brief history lesson: the PhD scheme I did was called IGGI and I was part of the first cohort, 12 years ago. IGGI (Intelligent Games and Games Intelligence) is now almost done. Over. Last cohort was onboarded 3 years ago (all planned, by design and funding). IGGICon was a yearly event showcasing the students, their work, and the industry partners. BIGGICon is just the last and biggest IGGICon.
While academia as a whole left a sour taste in my mouth, despite an amazing supervisor and a topic I really loved, the people in IGGI are amazing. And the people supporting the students from industry.
So next time you see someone boasting an IGGI doctorate or experience, they’re likely amazing and you should hire them / give them your undivided attention / donate all your wordly possessions to them.
Oh, and I’ve been told The Chinese Room has some amazing announcements soon (TM). Looking really forward to that.
In 1944, the #OSS, a precursor to the #CIA wrote the “Simple sabotage field manual” for the resistance against the #Nazi occupation. Among common sabotage methods it also contained more stealthy advice. Page 28 is about meetings and could be either a description of the modern workplace (#academia, I’m 👀 at you) or a manual for #productivity destruction. 🧵
