Sums up my sentiments on the current state of academic publishing. Food for thought.
Last week I was fortunate to be involved in two great sharing sessions. The first was an invitation by SKE to give a talk sharing my experience of doing PhD at Imperial College London. My main points are:-
The second was an invitation by my alma mater, the Communications & Signal Processing Research Group at Imperial College, to be a speaker at their CSP Alumni Day. I shared my career journey post-PhD including my stint as a Director at MOHE. Overall it was great to meet familiar faces and old friends. Proud to see my colleagues doing well in their respective careers.
