We\u2019re sure you will find this month\u2019s top picks interesting. Why so? We\u2019ve covered an eclectic mix of discussions. Some of them raise interesting questions such as: Is it time for us to let go of the concept of statistical significance? Do researchers find conference expenses affordable? The other posts are thought provoking, such as: how the death by suicide of an established professor highlights the harsh reality of academe, the caveats of academic Twitter, and the need for empathy and introspection in the lab. Sounds like an interesting mix, doesn\u2019t it? Go on then.

Rent or conference \u2014 early-career researchers shouldn\u2019t have to choose:<\/b> Do you attend academic conferences as a researcher? If yes, you may identify with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/d41586-019-00979-0\" style=\"color:blue; text-decoration:underline\">this post<\/a> by Jennifer Tsang. Reminiscing how she had to make ends meet during her PhD, Tsang talks about the additional struggles she faced while trying to attend academic events of her choice. She highlights the fact that while early-career researchers are always encouraged to attend conferences, they may not always have the financial support necessary to do so: \u201cAttending conferences can easily cost more than $1,000 in registration fees, travel and lodging. This is clearly a barrier for early-career researchers (ECRs).\u201d She also emphasizes that the situation will improve if the academic community, especially, ECRs advocate change on a larger scale. Some institutions have already started moving in this direction. For example, the graduate students of Brown University are asked to request reimbursement for airfare, accommodation, and conference registration expenses before the event. The University of California provides researchers with travel-specific credit cards that they can use at conferences. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt; margin:0in 0in 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:normal\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><b>2. Should the concept of statistical significance be forsaken?<\/b> In an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/d41586-019-00874-8\">interesting article<\/a> published in <i>Nature<\/i>, researchers Valentin Amrhein, Sander Greenland, Blake McShane \u201ccall for the entire concept of statistical significance to be abandoned.\u201d According to them, the reliance on the p value threshold of 0.05 to decide whether a paper gets published or a drug is produced for the public needs to be looked at more deeply. Statistical significance has become a core aspect of the evaluation of a study\u2019s impact and significance. However, in the absence of other arbiters, this can lead to analyses that are biased and overhyped, they argue. Their perspective is shared by more than 800 researchers who have called on journal editors and authors to forego the overreliance on statistical significance. They suggest that researchers should consider \u201clogic, background knowledge and experimental design\u201d alongside p values to decide on the certainty of their results. Further, they add that researchers should \u201cseek to analyse data in multiple ways to see whether different analyses converge on the same answer.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt; margin:0in 0in 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:normal\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><b>3. Are the minds of academics being Twitterized?<\/b> One social media platform that has gained popularity in academic circles in recent years is Twitter. Students, researchers, academic faculty, staff, and scholarly publication professionals are encouraged to use Twitter to access information, share interesting updates, promote their research, and voice opinions on topics they feel strongly about. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chronicle.com\/article\/The-Twitterization-of-the\/245965?key=KHFUmJ5O3Zs61RrOzq7lRr0RUvE8L5GhTe2XCKXwi5fZosVIhRNYRFmzC07R2bimeWRDV0Y5SmdKaHd3RHRpWXdpYWxmSEwwZWZDcHlkWFRDQVEtc3E0Si1XUQ\" style=\"color:blue; text-decoration:underline\">this interesting post<\/a>, Gordon Fraser, a lecturer at the University of Manchester and Senior Fellow at the Center for Humanities and Information at the Pennsylvania State University, argues that even though Twitter provides academics with a short and quick outlet for reaching out to fellow academics, the benefits of the platform should be weighed alongside its caveats. While Twitter does make scholars feel part of a larger community, it makes them vulnerable to the influence of politically inclined or promotional messages. Fraser argues that: \u201cBy design, Twitter has no protocols for distinguishing between the serious and the unserious, between the learned and the ignorant,\u201d and alludes to bitter Twitter debates and controversies involving scholars to support his argument. He calls for a more judicious approach with regard to academics\u2019 use of Twitter to make sure that they are able to differentiate between healthy dialogue and illegitimate forms of debate.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt; margin:0in 0in 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:normal\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><b>4. A prominent professor\u2019s suicide sparks debate about mental health among academic faculty:<\/b> Alan B. Krueger, a renowned name in the field of economics and a professor at Princeton University, committed suicide this month. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chronicle.com\/article\/A-Prominent-Economist-s\/245932?cid=trend_right_a\" style=\"color:blue; text-decoration:underline\">news of the professor\u2019s demise<\/a> has sent shock waves in the academic community.\u00a0 Kreuger was a well-established academic and played several roles in his professional career, including that of an economic aide to US presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. His death has sparked discussions about mental illness in academia and the severe pressure senior academics and faculty face on a daily basis. Sharing her thoughts about the incident, Jodi Beggs, economist at the Harvard Extension School, said, \u201cWe need to stop thinking that professional success shields people from depression and the like\u2026we need to remember that economists are still people, with all of the messiness that entails, even when they appear hyperrational regarding economic matters.\u201d Betsy Stevenson, associate professor of public policy and economics at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor and an acquaintance of Kreuger, spoke about the intense \u201cbullying culture\u201d in the field of economics. Bruce Macintosh, professor of physics at Stanford University, feels that Kreuger\u2019s death indicates that academia could be very isolating: \u201cYou can shut down completely for a year, and no one will notice,\u2019 as long as the grades get turned in.\u201d The incident highlights the issue of mental illness in academia and the need for academics to have a strong support system.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt; margin:0in 0in 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:normal\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><b>5. Are you introspective enough in the lab?<\/b> Lab work forms an integral part of several researchers\u2019 lives as they spend several hours in this space. Benjamin Tsang, who is a laboratory manager in the Gerlai Behavioural Genetics Research Lab at the University of Toronto, has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/d41586-019-00925-0\" style=\"color:blue; text-decoration:underline\">highlighted<\/a> an important and seldom discussed aspect of lab work \u2013 interactions with others. Tsang says that lab management includes people and relationship management within its scope. He often teaches students the golden rules of lab research: \u201ctreat others as you wish to be treated.\u201d According to him, researchers should learn to accept individual differences when working with others and develop empathy for their colleagues. This will help foster a healthy working environment in a lab and build a collaborative relationship amongst all lab members. The most important thing, according to Tsang, is the need for researchers to introspect to ensure their personal growth and make sure that they are not being harsh on their colleagues. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt; margin:0in 0in 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:normal\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">Did you enjoy reading these discussions?
