A senior male scholar 🙌 another on Twitter to give him sole credit for a project in which a female scholar contributed, is… not surprising, but still disappointing. #academia

New year. Still Tiny.

Can this be used as professor’s email signature? Asking for a friend.

[The Tiny Academic @TheTinyAcademic]

Yep. #academiclife

[The Tiny Academic @TheTinyAcademic]

Nothing speaks better to the validation needed by academics than replying all to an email that should only be a response to one individual.

Someone should tell #academics this was not the intent of windows. 😂

[The Tiny Academic @TheTinyAcademic]

And especially not during a grading season! #academia

Why GOD would never get tenure.

Discussions of the department budget at today's faculty meeting. #academicaccounting

Reviewer #3 on a recently rejected paper: "This could be a good contribution if the authors can eliminate all other possible alternative explanations for their findings." #academiclife

[The Tiny Academic @TheTinyAcademic]

That time you read through the list of faculty accomplishments looking for your name even though you know you haven't accomplished anything recently. #academicdeception

Start of semester vs. end of semester.

[The Tiny Academic @TheTinyAcademic]

Happy start of the fall semester, everyone. Let's all embrace the "logical" relationship that is #academia.

Student during final exam: "I don't know what this term means"
Me: "It is the central tenant of the whole course."

Brewing a pot of coffee, the grad student revels in a makeshift aromatherapy session.

Awaiting #academic journal decision.

[The Tiny Academic @TheTinyAcademic]

I have students who retweet their own tweets. Just say'n. #academicselfawareness

[The Tiny Academic @TheTinyAcademic]

Dear student,
No, I will not give you the point on for a partially correct answer. But glad you are so worried about one point on an assignment that is worth 0.5% of 3% of the final grade. #FirstWorldProblems (academic version).

[The Tiny Academic @TheTinyAcademic]

I start the new semester (and the new calendar year) with the "comforting" thought that Millennial babies will be eligible to vote this year. Happy new year to all those molding young (voting) minds this semester.

[The Tiny Academic @TheTinyAcademic]

The new year, when academics switch from "works in progress" to "manuscripts in preparation" (even if just in their own minds). #academicdelusion
