The banter section of this episode is lost to history because Jason forgot to hit record! After a short intro by Inger, the team go straight into the mail bag. Let's face it, this is the good stuff anyway - who needs Tinny and puppy news?

In our work problems segment, we discuss the appearance of ChatGPT as a referrer to the Thesis Whisperer blog and what it might mean for researcher visibility. How does an LLM decide on what is an 'authoritative source' on the internet? Is this a new form of 'research impact' and what should researchers do about it, if anything?

This episode also ends abruptly when Inger gets a phone call - the next episode will be much more polished, we promise!

Things we mentioned:

• Tiago Forte's PARA book
• Blooms Taxonomy
• Amazing Marvin app
• Click up app
• Be visible or vanish book
• The Enshittification of Academic Social Media
