Me: I have no idea how to fit this much stuff in the short amount of time I have before summer holidays. So many loose ends to tie up in the next 3 weeks.
Also me: Accepts invitation to write a book chapter to be submitted this time next year because then I'll surely have time.
@renordquist@academicchatter yes, that's the way it is in academia. I still have some deadlines before the holidays, and every year I say to myself: next year, you will do it differently...
I'm invited to be jury of a #PhD thesis in #Porto 🇵🇹 which defence could be attended either in person or remotely. I find a decent route by #train from #Marseille 🇫🇷 , via #Madrid 🇪🇸 for a total of 4 trains to reach the destination and about 2 days in the train / stations, both ways for 2 days in Porto.
Regardless of the cost,, and considering the potentiel benefit in terms of exemplarity, would you attend in person ?
@AlexSanterne
I think you know the answer already. 😃
And I'm pretty sure it will be also a better experience for the candidate, in particular if you have the chance to talk to him/her in person before the defence. @jknodlseder@academicchatter
