2022/10/18 | 839 | 3,388 | <issue_start>username_0: I am seeing some online lectures and it seems so that my attention is decaying quite fast as time progresses in the lecture. Most lectures I find on the internet are 1hr yet the the time I can focus above 90% is like only 20 mins. So, often I end up chunking the lecture into small pieces. Anoth... |
2022/10/18 | 1,408 | 5,720 | <issue_start>username_0: I'm currently working as an accountant, I work out regularly, 6 times a week, and my gym sessions are around 1h, but I could reduce them to 30-40min if I'm focused. I'm about to start a PhD and I'm asked to dedicate 2.5 days per week to research, around 8 and a half hours per day. I'm currently... |
2022/10/18 | 4,367 | 16,513 | <issue_start>username_0: This spring I ran away from Russia due to increasing repressions and other risks. Long story short, I got a Ph.D. position in quantum computing at Stuttgart University in the state of Baden-Württemberg. I was told to be in Germany at the 1st of June to sign my contract and start my Ph.D., but a... |
2022/10/18 | 986 | 4,277 | <issue_start>username_0: Some of my colleagues and I have become aware of an individual (name withheld) who makes a habit of attending math conferences on false pretences in order to get travel support.
I have second-hand knowledge of a conference where they claimed an affiliation that they no longer had and they pres... |
2022/10/19 | 458 | 1,959 | <issue_start>username_0: I have written a manuscript and sent it to a journal. Right now they are reviewing my manuscript. In the meantime I have rewritten the manuscript due to mistakes, and now it is entirely new, in the sense that the method and the conclusion are new.
Should I submit this new version of the manusc... |
2022/10/19 | 1,149 | 4,687 | <issue_start>username_0: I am applying to math Ph.D programs from U.S universities for next fall.
Frankly, I was not a good student during my Bachelor's degree. Instead, I did many things towards finding my real dream: what I really want to do. After I got my B.S in math, I did teaching in academies, and learned some ... |
2022/10/19 | 1,150 | 4,967 | <issue_start>username_0: I found something very novel during my Ph.D. and we have published this finding. However, many people don't believe in our work and it has been a year since I published my paper but I found very few groups citing this work. Scientists from renowned institutes are writing commentaries about the ... |
2022/10/19 | 605 | 2,389 | <issue_start>username_0: I'm a non-US citizen applying for PhD programs in pure mathematics in the US. I'm mainly aiming for top schools, e.g. Harvard, MIT, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, UCLA.
I have taken the GRE mathematics subject test and scored 880 (91st percentile). In many universities the GRE subject score is opt... |
2022/10/19 | 3,974 | 17,022 | <issue_start>username_0: I have chosen money over h-index / google scholar profile fame. Now I am working on applying the things in reality, giving me a big chance of a great contribution to the company. However, I am not feeling very well as I know that I never will publish a paper, never work on improving algorithms,... |
2022/10/19 | 421 | 1,932 | <issue_start>username_0: This question is egarding an article in a past publication in a journal or conference proceedings with two or more authors.

2022/10/19 | 582 | 2,590 | <issue_start>username_0: I'm currently a master's student studying theoretical physics. I've been really interested in a research project done by a postdoc from a different university. I was wondering if it would be appropriate if I ask him about the possible research opportunities. I'm not quite sure how I may want to... |
2022/10/20 | 713 | 3,165 | <issue_start>username_0: I'm writing a section of my thesis in LaTeX that belongs to a state of the art chapter. This section contains the summary of a scientific article (many sentences are copied literally while others are summarised) and also some figures coming from the same article.
I need to cite scientific arti... |
2022/10/20 | 754 | 3,203 | <issue_start>username_0: I wrote a paper in mathematics and I would like to present it to the right community of experts.
I believe that the work might be of interest both to geometers and analysts. Hence I am thinking to propose it to two seminars on my department: analysis and geometry.
**Is it common to present the... |

2022/10/20 | 1,487 | 6,534 | <issue_start>username_0: The question: is it appropriate or helpful to bring up life-impacting personal problems with your academic advisor?
I know that details are typically required here, but for obvious reasons I'm being concise. Assume anything negative is being extremely understated.
My fiance left me, but befor... |
2022/10/20 | 1,108 | 4,813 | <issue_start>username_0: I keep reading that we should absolutely avoid personal pronouns in papers, however, a lot of the academic papers I have read on google scholar use "our work", "our approach", "we define", etc. So, what are the rules on personal pronouns?<issue_comment>username_1: It is possible to overdo the "... |
