hko00o | askacademia_train | 0.98 | What are some obvious issues in academia, nobody wants to talk about? Like inter-departmental politics, everybody knows but people rarely talk about it to resolve it. | fwud12c | fwu2apx | 1,593,811,196 | 1,593,805,231 | 169 | 42 | A number of issues. The replication crisis, aided and abetted by the publish or perish conundrum caused by the increasingly lack of academic jobs. There continues to be an ivory tower problem. The knowledge created is simply not being transmitted to the general public. This has not helped the growing anti-intellectualism movement in the USA, where we can’t even agree to put on a fucking mask to reduce transmission. Racism and sexism is as pervasive as ever, it’s only transformed from blatant (in some cases, although blatant bigotry still exists) to latent. As academics we are not immune to this, and it boggles my mind how “woke” people can agree affirmative action is necessary on the undergrad level but scoff at “diversity hires taking away my spots”. Maddening. | Racism | 1 | 5,965 | 4.02381 |

Even if you don't work out, you should try to figure out what it will be before you join the lab. It's okay to ask other students in the lab how much they work. | I don't work out as intensely as you (1 hour 2/3 times a week) but the thing is, if you feel like your schedule is packed and have no time, take one week and note down what you are doing with time stamps and most likely you will find an activity you can sacrifice. For me, I had to scratch that 1 hour of browsing memes each night I came back from uni, now I browse them only for 20 minutes on my way to and from the gym. | 0 | 8,986 | 1.833333 |

It's okay to ask other students in the lab how much they work. | Yes, it is possible, but you have to manage your time well. Before the pandemic I was going 6 times a week and I was able to do everything else. The gym was always the first item on my schedule. I'd wake up around 6:15, eat something, get there around 7 and workout for 1 to 1.5 hours. After going back home, taking a shower and eating, I'd get to work around 9:30. This worked really well for me. I could stay longer at the university if needed, without having to skip workout. | 0 | 7,481 | 1.5 |
