ERC grants are the most prestigious funding schemes for basic science in Europe.
While most successful ERC applications are guarded as business secrets, this site includes a series of openly available proposals: https://www.ffg.at/europa/heu/erc/published-proposals

One of the hard things about immigrating to Germany is the general lack of positive feedback. I was born here, but I'm still very American, so I give positive feedback & it makes ppl uncomfortable sometimes.
This from the Max Planck Society's guide for foreign scientists:

Well, there is fraud in scientific publishing and then there's comedy.
This absurd figure was found in a published paper and reported on the bird app by Josemari Feliciano. It's too funny not to share here. Can you tell what is wrong?
Hint: This is NOT a "T-test" 😂
Here's one of his works that I particuarly like (more here: https://plelievre.com/projects/phd-exhibition/). It reminds me of the "parquet deformations" composed by William Huff. #art #machinelearning

Last week Pierre Lelièvre succesfully defended his PhD in art and machine learning "Pictorial Composition — Modeling, Perception & Creation". The defense was followed with a superb exhibition of his artistic work https://plelievre.com/projects/phd-exhibition/
@linguistics #linguistique #linguistics #psycholinguistics Bon j'entend uniquement "oh fuck" donc difficile d'analyser le phénomène, mais je pense que l'illusion auditive est finalement plus simple que celle du Laurel/Yanny : même si Barbie et fuck ont l'air de mots très différents, leur syllabe accentuée est phonétiquement assez proche (b/f diffèrent essentiellement par le mode d'occlusion, et j'entends un /u/ très ouvert à la limite du /ə/). Du coup avec une prononciation approximative il ne me semble pas impossible que les deux soient interchangeables.
Barbie/fuck is the new Laurel/Yanny
Qu'en pensez-vous, la team #linguistique @linguistics ?

Mon cerveau est en miette, je ne comprends pas comment je peux entendre les 2 aussi clairement alors que les mots sont si différents 🤯

@Hirstrj @lakens @chelseaparlett @arcaldwell49 @guyprochilo @FrederikAust the concept of the smallest detectable effect size given a sample size is my favourite. That’s what’s making the meaning of (statistical) power really hit home with my students.

«Les taux de rentabilité sont de l’ordre de 40%. Ils profitent à fond de la politique publique»
Les CFA véreux rhabillent Elsevier, Springer-Nature et autres Wiley pour l’hiver avec de telles rentabilités 🙃

«Certaines écoles font du surbooking, explique aussi la directrice générale de l’Anaf, Morgane Daboval. Une fois lié par le contrat, le jeune ne peut plus se rétracter et doit payer les frais exorbitants. C’est légal mais inacceptable.»
Oh oh oh, wait for it!
« Pas pour la conseillère d’Emmanuel Macron, qui aurait rétorqué que «les étudiants sont armés pour lire des contrats». »

« Libération révèle comment depuis quatre ans ces milliards d’euros d’argent public viennent surtout engraisser les fonds d’investissement qui achètent les organismes de formation. L’apprentissage est un filon qui rapporte très gros. »
Voilà du supérieur qui ramène du flouz ! 🤷♂️😔

The #Clarivate list of Highly Cited #Researchers turns out to be a happy hunting ground for identifying dodgy individuals involved in #Papermills and other dubious activities. https://forbetterscience.com/2022/11/23/the-highly-cited-researchers-of-clarivate/

As a bonus, this is an European meeting, which makes it possible to travel by train instead of plane (8/7)
So we may add a 4th rule for next year's meeting: a short crash course in audiology the week before so that everybody can follow the talks. (7/7)
Yet, I realized that most of the questions were asked by senior researchers. I discussed this with two PhD students from my group who told me that they don't feel comfortable asking questions about topics they may not be familiar with. (6/7)
4 - Of course the last one is an implicit rule arising from
the fact that ARCHES is a small "private" conference (only members of the organizing teams can attend). (5/7)
3 - friendly atmosphere and respectful scientific interactions so that junior attendees don't feel afraid to present their work or to ask question. (4/7)
2 - senior members do not present their own work but an overview of the work of their research team members; (3/7)
