Why I free up time to give lectures (and about ChatGPT)
This week a colleague whom I highly respect asked me if I was already so busy (regularly close to overworked), why did I give talks and often free up my time for that. A valid question. The Drew-reaction here is to say "it is part of scientific communication and dissemination". But does that hold when writing deliverables (also communication and dissemination) should take priority?
So, here's my Gun-reaction. I think there are two aspects I take into account on top of the "this is what scholars do" and "I learned it like this": the need for debate, the need for human collaboration. Arguably, these are the same thing, but intuitively I think the first is actually more about deepening our understanding, while the second is more about gratification.
