After reviewing nearly 200 applications from prospective grad students and postdocs over the past few months for a couple different 🧪⚒️ postings, here are some tips, at least as they apply to North American positions. I hope they help future applicants. Share with your networks. 🧵

Einem Philosophie (!) Professor in Texas wurde verboten, bestimmte Werke von #Plato (!) im Unterricht zu nutzen, sie wurden zensiert, weil es darin um Liebe u Geschlechterverhältnisse ginge u das verboten sei als Lehrstoff an Unis.

Plato Werke. #Verboten im Philosophie Studium in den #USA.

#Zensur
The works of Plato are now being banned at schools in the United States.

Tell me again how censorship is a European problem? 🤔

Since Jan 1 2025, which feels like four trillion years ago, research has been shared on here 5 million whole-ass times. Bluesky recently passed 2 billion posts IN TOTAL.

So 0.25% of the entire site's traffic was citations to research.

That is actually massively high. Is it? Yes. Here's why.

Humans have emitted 2750 gigatons of CO2 since the industrial revolution from burning fossil fuels and land use change. To put this in perspective, this is more than the (dry) mass of all living things on earth and everything humans have ever built combined:

Attendance at US-based science conferences is bouncing around this year but generally down. #AGU25 has ~10k fewer this year! I explored these trends for @nature.com — including solutions to keep conferences local & productive:

Wie soll das eigentlich funktionieren? Der Verzicht auf fossile Energieträger ist die Voraussetzung für Klimaschutz!

Erst dann stabilisiert sich die Temperatur. Das bedeutet kompletter Verzicht.

Das ist Physik. #cop30

Wer in der Wissenschaft als exzellent gelten will, muss sichtbar sein. Nur: Frauen werden für Sichtbarkeit abgestraft. Sie können es schlicht nicht richtig machen! Kein Wunder, dass Gleichstellung im dt. Wissenschaftssystem schleppend vorangeht. Das #Sichtbarkeitsparadox: heute in #ArbeitInDerWiss!

Lisa Janotta kritisiert, dass zu erwartende Kürzungen an Hochschulen in Hessen, NRW & Berlin ohnehin prekäre Arbeitsbedingungen weiter verschlechtern.

Langfristige Personalplanung? Fehlanzeige.
