      1/ One aspect of publish or perish that I think is under-discussed: shitty writing. Writing well is a learnable skill. Most graduate students master it. But, in practice, it demands LOTS OF TIME. And, that's hard to justify given the endless frenetic struggle. #phdlife #phdchathttps://twitter.com/ChuckWendig/status/1114174460926537728 …

      2/ By well-written, I don't just mean technically correct. I mean digestible and engaging. If you're writing is more difficult than it needs to be, you needlessly tax your readers. If it's not engaging, you'll have fewer readers.https://twitter.com/microjudgments/status/1114570402619990018 …

          3/ I don't have a magical prescription to make this possible. It's basically a collective action problem. But, I just wanted to put it out there because I don't think this particular aspect of publish-or-perish and it's negative impact on our workloads is discussed enough.

          Yea. I think this is true. And it devalues people in almost the same way. "We have a glut of phds, so it doesn't really matter."https://twitter.com/trumwill/status/1114573617264775168 …

          This reminds me a bit of when I complain about software bloat that basically prevents us from being able to take advantage of faster processors and greater resources. The response I get is that it simply isn't worth their time because the processors are fast enough to cover. https://twitter.com/generativist/status/1114572549029941249 …

          This is definitely true. We see too many theses that “write to impress” but actually do the opposite. Being readable is not “dumbing down”.

          Yes. Neither is a conversational style. (P.S. I really love @HemingwayApp for this because it kinda compels simple that I can add complexity to later. It helps prevent showing off verbage.) http://hemingwayapp.com/
