International media, you can do better than this.

"Bamboo" is maybe exotic and a compelling hook but it is too easy. The real story here is the growing culture of corruption, including a lack of accountability and oversight, that enabled a chain of human errors that led to this disaster.

I am heavily invested in handwriting & historical documents. Historians need to weigh carefully whether time spent transcribing documents is “wasted,” or whether it actually helps thought processes & skills. This is not to say these tools should not be used.

Just consider the cost of “time saved.”

I am very sad to learn of Alice Wong’s @sfdirewolf.bsky.social passing.

I will miss her razor wit, her wisdom, her love for good food, and her red lipstick.

Pour les candidat.e.s qui arrivent de l'étranger : ça va vous sembler TRÈS bizarre, je sais, mais il FAUT contacter les labos, pour qu'ils vous aident à préparer le dossier/faire des auditions blanches.

C'est le comité national qui évalue/recrute, pas les labos, donc ils peuvent vous aider.
Pour le concours CNRS : contactez les labos d'accueil potentiels.
Un autre point peut être à souligner est que le projet doit s'insérer dans un laboratoire. Il y a donc un bon moment où contacter les laboratoires potentiels d'accueil et c'est maintenant

Excellentes ressources ici pour préparer le concours du CNRS.

Attention, la numérotation des sections (et le périmètre de certaines d'entres elles) a changé depuis la première publication du billet (l'ex-35 s'est scindée en 37 et 38, l'ex-33 est devenue 35, etc...).

Realized upon seeing a unusually large number of athletes also boarding my flight to Tokyo that the 2025 Deaflympics are held this week in Japan - pretty cool! Hope they get to wear many medals on the return flight 💫

You've got that footnote day dream look in your eye
And I've got that eighteenth version thing that you like
And when we try APA we come back every time
Cause we gotta use Chicago style
We gotta use Chicago style
The original version of Taylor Swift’s ‘Style’ was about the superiority of the Chicago Manual of Style for notes and referencing, but eventually she was convinced that this was not commercial enough. When the Manual reaches its 20th edition, she may release ‘Style (Chicago version)’ to celebrate.

Comme j'ai trop attendu pour demander la production d'une affiche, j'ai dû le faire moi-même. C'est 100% sans IA et... ça se voit. Mais je me suis amusé à le faire au moins!

D'ailleurs s'il y a des gens de l'ESR qui savent comment se faire rembourser des frais de numérisation de pièces d'archives, en particulier par des fonds d'archives étrangers, reconnaissance éternelle 🙏

(car pour l'instant c'est soit mes deniers perso, soit y aller en mission train/avion + hôtel)
Aujourd'hui dans l'administration publique: j'ai écrit à mon directeur de laboratoire pour avoir une attestation comme quoi l'inscription à la bibli de recherche de la BNF est bien une dépense professionnelle homologuée que je peux faire passer en frais de mission quand je vais en mission à la BNF

Ditto 34-year-old as a professor. Ask me how I know 😅
A 34-year-old as a politician: My god he's like a baby. It's like they just elected an infant to be their mayor.

A 34-year-old as an athlete: You have to admire the bravery of him attempting that dunk, knowing full well the grim reaper is right behind him.
