Not sure about that, the convention is to cite however someone appears on the paper right? That way everything is consistent.

I am not sure if this is how it is a correct representation. I believe a common approach is to do a short history of quantum in the first year, and then do a from the ground up app…

I don't think the actual proposed superconductivity mechanism is the relevant part of this paper. It is much easier to prove that this is superconducting than to prove why. And in …

The national Dutch funding agency that effectively funds all research in the Netherlands requires this. Buy considers it sufficient for you to publish in a closed journal and then …

To be clear, there is some dissipation with magnons, just a lot less than Joule heating. But exciting a magnon will heat up your sample, because magnons don't live forever and deca…

To be fair, this is really field dependent. In the sciences this is (mostly) true, but in the humanities your output for your PhD is sometimes just your thesis. The problem is fund…

This works wonders, especially for collaborative documents (which a thesis should be, a collaboration between you and your supervisor/other people). A first "vomit" draft allows yo…

Why is no one considering that this PhD student is wrong and that his supervisor does in fact know what they are doing? Starting in a new field is hard, and it takes years to get a…

Cyclists are protected by law, such that even if an accident is the fault of the cyclist, the car driver is still 50% liable. This in combination with the infrastructure, which sep…

Just to add: he has always said that after the Olympics he is retiring (at age 25). He has not confirmed it as far as I know, but he has hinted at it in interviews and also in this…

Only if you want to sync pdfs using the Zotero server does Zotero cost money. Anything else is completely free, including syncing your db (without pdf attachments). If you want to …

This is fairly common in newish kitchens in the Netherlands too, especially if the kitchen is far away from the boiler. Sometimes even with a boiling water tap, so you don't even n…

From the article "Prolific, a tool for scientists conducting behavioral research, had no screening tools in place to make sure that it delivered representative population samples t…

Why is it that people are always so quick to suggest (couples) therapy? Is it so unlikely that two adults can work something out between themselves, especially if they are in a mar…

Not by default, but Julia has various units packages which integrate fairly well with the rest of the ecosystem. Unitful.jl [1] is the most used one I believe and integrates with D…

Depending on the country, the PhD defense is more or less ceremonial. If you have made it to the defense, you can pretty much not fail anymore.

Regarding your last point: if I remember the foreword to the 2nd edition Tolkien describes his writing process as essentially being spatially. He moves his characters from place to…

I think the author is also severely underestimating how early Tolkien starting working on his maps. The Hobbit (published in 1937) already came with a somewhat fleshed out map of t…

I have never heard about this, do you have a link that elaborates? I love weird succession lines.

Yes it is a shame, because their recipes (especially from Kenji López-Alt) are really good. But if you keep one open to read from during cooking, you will see every video they have…

Note that this is the main use case of Julia code: relatively short academic code, where more thought goes into coming up with the equations than with the code itself. For me it is…

I am not sure what you are referring to, but a PhD in Europe takes 3/4 years. They are generally organised such that you are tied to a single supervisor/research group, which might…

They charge extra to have your pictures printed in color, online everything is in color anyway. I think that is a fair practice no?

Doesn't every single payment provider do this though?

Seconding his book Last Chance to See, it is a fantastic travel/nature book with all the usual Douglas Adams flare.
