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 study
- Savers - the thrifting superstore
- An academic affair - new romance book set in Australian Academia by Jodie McAllister
- The Dopamine Brain (book)
- Enshittification (book)
- One Battle After Another
- Tron: Ares
- Soul by Pixar
- Scispace AI
