A shameless plug!

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! Inger has A Lot Going On At The Moment - and has the tshirt to prove it. Jason's been Getting Things Done, even if his fridge broke. Things have been better in OTR land, but an episode was finally recorded! There's a lot of chat in this one because the mail bag was, as usual, excellent. In the work problems segment Inger plugs the new book she's written with Pat Thomson, Helen Kara and Aimee Grant... While the title is boring and the cover is ugly, she thinks the book is actually great. Rebecca sent us in a two minute tip and it's great! You'll have to listen to the end to hear it. Things we mentioned: Inger's Taylor Swift coded tshirtOTRT home page (to see our new logo)QPR conference (we're having a booth!)The new book "Managing your research project"Indyx App (Inger's wardrobe organisation app)Inger's expensive bootsAnd her expensive leather jacket comes from LeatheronInger's eBay pageFirst edition of How To Fix your Academic Writing Trouble (2nd edition out November this year)Hazel for the MacExample of a patched in ChatGPT image on Inger's InstagramThe Boring ConferenceSneeze Count paperGot thoughts and feel pinions?

AI SEO - how does ChatGPT talk about you behind your back?

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! Hey! Jason will be in the UK in Late April. If you'd like to chat to him about the trip and possibly having him visit you, email us on enquiries@ontheregteam.com Watch this episode on YouTube The banter section of this episode is lost to history because Jason forgot to hit record! After a short intro by Inger, the team go straight into the mail bag. Let's face it, this is the good stuff anyway - who needs Tinny and puppy news? In our work problems segment, we discuss the appearance of ChatGPT as a referrer to the Thesis Whisperer blog and what it might mean for researcher visibility. How does an LLM decide on what is an 'authoritative source' on the internet? Is this a new form of 'research impact' and what should researchers do about it, if anything? This episode also ends abruptly when Inger gets a phone call - the next episode will be much more polished, we promise!

If AI is the hammer, do we have the right nails?

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! Jason has been living his best life, travelling NZ (where he did not touch boiling mud, as much as he was tempted to) and having excuses to eat pepper steak pies. Meanwhile Inger has been having a shit time at work and waiting for her puppy to arrive. After a confession during the mailbag segment, we hear all about Jason's star keynote at the ASPIRE conference, which led to... well, a bit of a rant on Inger's part at least. You get the picture!

Dealing with other people's procrastination (and a few tips on how to keep your feet warm)

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! Jason is wondering how long he is going to be constrained to a 25km radius as he tries to plan #epictrip2021 around Australia. Meanwhile Inger's Tesla is complaining about a cold battery. While Jason contemplates 14 weeks off work for long service leave, Inger is powering on with her PostAc work (you can find out more about the PostAc project here). This week we conclude (for now) our 3 episode long opus on procrastination with some thoughts on managing other people's procrastination. Afterwards Inger shares a bunch of depressing research on bias in CV assessment. We finish with a very warm 2 minute tip from Inger.

The mean girl in the internet of things

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! Jason has consciously uncoupled from his employer. Inger's getting a Volvo. There is clearly a lot to discuss in the first half an hour, including the survey that Inger finally has out (participate here!) Jason's had some time to wrangle the mailbag, so he's cleaned up Inger's mess and made a spreadsheet. People have a lot to say about our travel episode and we are ready to hear it! In work problems, Jason brings Inger up to speed about Apple Intelligence and we have a chat about AI, privacy and the fact that Inger seems to be saving 12 hours a week by outsourcing to Claude... Jason had to go to coffee, so there was no time for mailbag, but if you have kids, stick around for a top tip about AI study buddies! Stuff we mentioned: Kaitlin Salze's omni focus website Trippit Apple intelligence video Blue Ribbon Foundation Style: 10 lessons in clarity and grace (so expensive!

Is boredom your academic superpower?

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! Welcome to the first Youtube video version of the pod! Watch it here Sorry for the sound quality for the first 10 minutes - promise it gets better when we remembered to turn the mics on! The filming/recording took ages, through many interruptions, and bad technical decisions... so much effort in fact, that we are not sure if we will do it again. Let us know if you like it and we might persist! In this episode we talk about Boredom at work. Inger reads Jason in on the literature and floats her theory that the PhD is an exercise in training boredom tolerance. Things we mentioned: Thesis Whisperer post about boredom in PhD studySavers - the thrifting superstoreAn academic affair - new romance book set in Australian Academia by Jodie McAllisterThe Dopamine Brain (book)Enshittification (book)One Battle After AnotherTron: AresSoul by PixarScispace AI Got thoughts and feel pinions?

Academic permafrost and the vital few

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! It's the last episode of On the Reg before Jason goes on #epictrip2021 but don't worry - Inger will keep the ship afloat with a guesthostapolooza until he returns. Before he leaves Jason just has a bit more marking to do as well as tricking out the Jeep. Inger is relieved her dislocated toe no longer looks like a balloon animal and that Thesis Whisperer Jnr will still put the seat warmers on in the Tesla when he picks her up from work. We are excited to announce the release of our first book together! We've written a 50, A4 page 'look book ' of TextExpander snippets to inspire you to automate some of your academic email life. You can buy the book from The Thesis Whisperer here. In the word problems segment, Inger reads 'The Culture Code' by Daniel Coyle and finds out all the starting conditions for teams to perform well are essentially missing in academia. She now plans to send the book to her Vice Chancellor, Brian Schmidt, so that he can get to work on fixing it! Jason read 'Essentialism' by Gary McKeown while standing in the queue to get vaccinated for 6 hours and was annoyed to discover that it only took Inger 2 hours to read the same book. Her dominance at competitive reading is now fully explained! We decided that it was a good book with lots of juicy nuggets, once you get past the first chapter. Jason has read a paper on Vaping and Inger owns up to being an ex-smoker who misses it, and is happy to get a contact high at parties. Meanwhile Inger has read a paper which measures how long academics go over time on conference talks and the results will - and won't - surprise you. Finally in our 2 minute tips, Jason has an app to make lists with and Inger has a quick way to make sure you don't go over time on your next conference talk (it's easy people!).

AI: a pearl clutching panic fest, or are the robots really coming for our jobs?

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! You might have noticed this episode is rather... long. But it's your last episode before February, 2023. so we figure you can digest this omnibus episodes in parts! Look, there's a lot of Spider Talk in our catch up, so you might want to skip it if you're an arachnophobe. There's some very interesting questions from listeners in the Mailbag section [22:54], which gives us the chance to drop the knowledge on difficult publishing problems and how to tell someone they look nice at work. In our Work Problems segment [46:35] we talk about the new wave of Generative AI tools about to 'disrupt' higher ed (or are they?). You can follow along in the discussion guide we made for this episode. The reading section (1:44:00) has more podcasts than actual reading and the two minute tip section (1:52:00) returns to the problem of spiders via Obsidian back ups. Happy Holidays everyone! Stuff we mentioned: Inger's mosquito death bio-chamber thingy Huntsman Spider info (CW: spiders!) Pre-order Inger and Simon's new book Be Visible or Vanish at a cheapish price.

Starting new things - what are the pain points?

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! Inger's had Covid Bingo, where she scored almost every symptom in the book. Meanwhile Jason has been been out there, having a life, which involves a story about the physics of gumboots. It makes sense in context, we promise. Inger snippety doodah-ded our catch up a bit, but it's still kind of long, so if you want to skip it, go straight to (24:02) when we open Mailbag. We have our first message from Mastodon and Jason got recognised in the street. Thanks to @bron@aus.social, who wrote a nice pocket review of our Text Expander book. There's a discussion guide for for this week's topic: transitions (which starts at 30:15:09). We talk about the pain points of starting or starting again (which ended up being a topic suggested by PETA the pirate, who left a review - thanks Peta!). We go to many places in this discussion, from Monkey cortex sizes to Obsidian MOCs, university branded sweat shirts and horrible colleagues. Inger also reveals why you never use an apostrophe 's' when you write about The Australian National University (yes, it's really in the style guide). In our reading session (1:28:26) we talk about some books we've read and a little bit about generative AI, but decided to hold over a fuller discussion to next time. In our two minute tips section (1:37:34), Jason reminds us about the value of starting projects with 'Who, What, Where, Why and How' and Inger needs Jason's help with making check lists to deal with Covid brain fog...
