We did just that a few times - successfully sometimes, unsuccessfully some other times

how do you provide evidence you are in the top 5-10% of your field?

You were forced to review with >4 papers - with rejection of all of you didn’t comply. But again, the tone was rough.

I keep getting mails of my co-authors asking me what I did - on the other hand, the ACs response was kind. I was flagged automatically apparently… harsh for public shaming

And don't get me wrong: I think it is good that they are trying to improve review quality.

And they literally send it to ALL MY COAUTHORS, telling them I submitted an irresponsible review. I mean...

I was flagged as "irresponsible" reviewer at
NeurIPS for a paper providing no algorithm, no theory, no data, no analysis... it is simply an opinionated, colloquial review. I said as much. Instead of looking at it, the AC forced me to add to my review, threatening to reject papers of my co-authors.

The problem is that you will only vote again in 3.5 years - if you vote again

Oh it is actually very nice, you can just prompt it to use Newspeak

Yeah, that’s an issue that you cannot really rely on it. But then this is true for so many things with DB. At a Kopfbahnhof like Frankfurt or Leipzig (?) you may be able to grab something from the station

A lecture hall full of students. The students are applauding. At the front of the lecture hall you can see eight people standing in front - two are wearing lab coats, six are in plain clothes.

🎤 An Impression from last nights #ScienceSlam, organized by the #Tübingen AI PhD and Postdoc Assembly (TAPPA) @Kupferbau @unituebingen.bsky.social

The audience got a glimpse into AI-related research ranging from self-driving cars to deep learning, computational neuroscience, and probability theory.

Don't miss the #scienceslam of our PhDs and postdocs happening in #Tübingen tomorrow, Thursday, June 5, at 7 pm! And bring your friends who do not work on #AI themselves - the talks will be understandable for everyone.

Depending on your perspective 80y is a long time

80y later or so…. Up to the late 1920ies, Germany was the go to nation worldwide for maths, philosophy & even biologists published in Zeitschrift f Naturforschung… up until very recently a German academic career needed at least 2y in the US

We have several open, fully-funded PhD and Postdoc positions at my group, now at the University of Tübingen. Please #RT and share with potential candidates!

Generally: AI for scientific discoveries in physics 🔥.

For students in my kids' generation, I don't see how going on an exchange to the US holds much appeal. We need to be vigilant to similar tendencies in Germany and Europe, and stop the far-right from gaining further ground.

Now, the US government is halting student visa scheduling, increases social media surveillance, and patriotism has turned into cheap, blatent nationalism and facism following a great leader or manipulating him for ones own gain.
