I use Obsidian as my main notetaking app (among many other things it does for me). I try to implement Andy Matuschak's 'Evergreen Notes' method when working through a particular concept in the literature. Often, this means linking notes together that haven't been created yet. This post outlines a method of finding such orphaned links, so I can fill them in.
What do universities actually do?
With universities all over the United States under fire from the Trump administration, there appears to be mass confusion by non-academics about what universities do. This post is meant as a plain language explainer of the kinds of things that research-intensive universities do.
For many academics, 40%+ of their time is spent on activities that can fall into the category of 'creating'. With this in mind, what do academics need to be successful creators? How can departments better support them in this role?
