- Are you contemplating a career as a professor or academic researcher? Are you already an early-career researcher? Well, this is the video for you!

About Eric Vanman:
Eric Vanman is a seasoned psychologist with a rich history in research, particularly in the field of facial electromyography. His dedication to the field of psychology extends beyond research, encompassing a deep commitment to teaching and mentorship. Through his tenure at the University of Queensland, he has fostered a nurturing environment for students, encouraging them to delve deep into psychological science, and nurturing the next generation of researchers.
These seem like a list of things NOT to do if you want to have an ethical career. I'm glad that you came up with this list because it can help honest students to avoid some of these pitfalls.
Connected with #11 is the Rename on Old Theory maybe with a new tweak but often just dress up the old with new names. With 25 years of education training we regularly got training in the latest new theory which very much looked like something recycled from 10 years ago.
😂 All teachers have this experience, it's on our bingo card
I am glad you got your professorship. Perhaps your integrity (and cynicism) can rub off on up-and-comers and keep them on the right track rather than the fast track. Keep posting.
LOL! Satirical brilliance!! 😁

Ever considered looking into which very incremental and insidious processes postmodernism may have poisoned not just academia, but the whole tangent eco-system upon which faculties and academia in general once relied to produce valid new inquiries and research?
Eg, administrators, publishers, state boards, etc?
Can you do a video on Jungian psychology and how it fits or doesn't fit into the psychology / scientific community today?
Yes! That would be interesting to do. Maybe in a few months, I can do it.
Would any Australian university even fit the criteria of #4?
3:40 Which university?
So few honest folks left in most fields of study, and the tactics described by you and chat GPT are sadly becoming more ubiquitous.
