This episode continues the discussion we started in the episode on reading, https://soundcloud.com/degrees_of_freedom/s03e04-learning-to-read-and-reading-for-learning
In this episode we investigate good and bad practices in academic writing, discussing many tips to help oneself to overcome the writer block and make the most of their writing experience. We touch upon a wide variety of topics: writing as an act of reflection and learning, the important relation with self-acceptance and in looking for feedback, and the way our approach writing is evolving. The recent evolutions of large language models are already forcing us to revisit the way we write, not necessarily in a negative way, but they need to be used mindfully.
