"Looking back, that season taught me lessons I’ll hold forever. I learned to ask for help without shame and lean on my support system of friends and classmates. Most importantly, I learned to keep sight of why I came here in the first place." #AcademicChatter https://bit.ly/49yL72h

"There it was: the data set I had helped shape, the computer scripts I had debugged and refined, the analytical framework I had spent months developing—all neatly embedded in a peer-reviewed journal article. But my name was absent." https://bit.ly/47Kac7C

📚 How to keep a lab notebook

Where did I put that piece of paper? When did I do that experiment? Where did I save that data file? If this sounds familiar, your research note system might need a refresh.

Belgian farmer Hugues Falys is suing French oil major TotalEnergies, claiming it’s destroying his crops through climate change. 
 
If he wins, the case could set a powerful legal precedent — and open the floodgates to similar lawsuits across Europe.

From London to Berlin, far-right politicians are cutting back on wine-soaked lunches and dressing like camera-ready mainstream figures.

It’s not just their style that’s evolved — they’re getting savvier about diplomacy too.

My sister quit with a masters instead of finishing her PhD because of a sexist mentor. I I didn’t finish my masters because I had a near-death childbirth in my final year and got zero support from my school, circa 2012.
If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

I sincerely wish that the people who defend PhD education were better at it.

A: this is objectively untrue.
B: the author’s premise is that critical thinking/deep reading/PhD soft skills are valuable career skills, so it’s all fine. (Nevermind that even though they are, they’re not golden tickets).
