Canada vs. America

Jaja, “Russland und die Ukraine (intensivieren) die Angriffe auf die Infrastruktur des Gegners”, Russland auf Energie- und Wasserversorgung der Bevölkerung, Ukraine auf Öl- und Gasförderungsanlagen. Und man weiß auch gar nich, wie es dazu gekommen ist. Wahrscheinlich sind beide irgendwie schuld …

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

My very dear Jochen Guck, has just passed away and yet I cannot believe it 🥹
Jochen is one of the most brilliant scientist I had ever met, a human being with unlimited qualities, brave and caring, positive (always) and full of ressources, helpful and with - always - the best advices.

I am super excited to announce that we have a tenure-track faculty position in biophysics open in the Department of Physics at Carnegie Mellon! 🧪

Interfolio link: apply.interfolio.com/174360

PLEASE, share widely across the blue skies!

Let me briefly explain what we're looking for:

1/10

Tenure-track Position in Biophysics at Carnegie Mellon University, Department of Physics

Location: Pittsburgh, PA
Open Date: Sep 19, 2025

Description
The Department of Physics at Carnegie Mellon University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in biophysics. The appointment is intended to be at the Assistant Professor level, but exceptional candidates at a higher level may also be considered. We seek outstanding candidates with a strong record in cellular and subcellular biophysics. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to, uncovering how key characteristics of living systems arise from the interplay between supramolecular cellular structures, how the emergent cellular circuitry defines goals and enables robust decision making, and how metabolic resources are allocated. This encompasses understanding of how information is learned, stored, transduced, and processed across subcellular structures. Applicants with theoretical, data science, or experimental backgrounds within biological physics are encouraged to apply. The ideal candidate will strengthen and extend research programs of current biophysics faculty in the Department of Physics and collaborate with broader life science activities across many departments at CMU and the wider Pittsburgh area.

In 1934, Adolf Hitler required that the German armed forces, the Reichswehr, swear an oath of allegiance directly to him. This new oath, known as the Reichswehreid, replaced the previous one sworn to the constitution and the nation.

The Society tolerates an outspoken and active fascist in her ranks. This has nothing to do with openness or tolerance. Or, as another much more decent former member of your society once formulated:

LESS WELL KNOWN IS THE PARADOX OF TOLERANCE:
UNLIMITED TOLERANCE
MUST LEAD TO THE DISAPPEARANCE OF TOLERANCE.
IF WE EXTEND UNLIMITED TOLERANCE EVEN TO THOSE WHO ARE INTOLERANT, IF WE ARE NOT PREPARED TO DEFEND A TOLERANT SOCIETY AGAINST THE ONSLAUGHT OF THE INTOLERANT, THEN THE TOLERANT WILL BE DESTROYED, AND TOLERANCE WITH THEM.
