I’m about to finalise the training programme for this community - this is your last chance to share your input. Tell me what aspects of academic publishing and building your expert profile would you like to develop.

Many of you are here to network but we don’t often know who is doing what - let’s change this: In a few words, please explain what is your core research area. Enjoy!

Hi everyone, I recently gave a seminar at The Higgs Centre for Theoretical Physics (The University of Edinburgh). I present our recent work on NLO electroweak corrections to Higgs boson pair production via gluon fusion, focusing on: • Top-Yukawa–induced effects • Light-quark loop contributions This is the full seminar recording: https://media.ed.ac.uk/media/Arunima+Bhattacharya%2C+28+01+2026/1_g6k56t8z/322928512 Paper: arXiv:2512.14823 [hep-ph] (https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.14823) It would be great to have community feedback on this presentation so I can improve. Thank you, Arunima

Rejection is part of being an academic. Success rate on grants have dropped to 5-10%. This means you’ll get 1 bid in 10-20 submitted. Heartbreaking - yes. But you’ll get through this. We all are. You’re not alone!

I've recently been approached by AnswerThis.io founders to test their updated AI-based literature review tools. I usually prefer to write my own literature reviews without AI support, as I learn more and gain unique insights when I do it myself. However, with the sheer volume of articles being published these days and tighter deadlines, I see how such tools can become increasingly valuable. I'll be testing this over the next few days and will share my thoughts with the community soon. However, there are a few exciting activities that I'm currently discussing with the AnswerThis team: 1. You can get a good-value annual plan via my affiliate link here: https://answerthis.io/?ref=drhanak 2. We're planning an exclusive workshop just for this community P.S. Let me know if such partnerships and collaborations are helpful!
