This came across my IG feed and it's too good to not share here
A pie chart labeled "benefits of staying in academia after PhD" where the categories are salary, wellness, stable mental health, and confidence for your future. They are each associated with a different color. The pie chart has four pieces of different sizes and colors. But the colors in the pie chart do not match the colors Associated with the four items supposedly being visualized here.

"The increasing involvement of technology companies in mathematical research raises the risk that research questions may come to be prioritized because of their amenability to automated mathematics, rather than expert judgment of their deeper significance."

Studieren ist kein exzentrisches Hobby, das man zum Privatvergnügen betreibt. Es dient der Ausbildung akademischer Fachkräfte. Klar kann man potentielle Lehrer_innen, Ärzt_innen, Anwält_innen, Kräfte in Verwaltung, Wirtschaft, Kultur vergraulen. Aber dann schadet man halt mutwillig der Gesellschaft.

Please sign this petition. #UnisRetten Often we hear “education is a key investment in the future”. Yet the federal government is planning major cuts to universities. These cuts would put research and teaching at risk – and, ultimately, undermine our shared future. mein.aufstehn.at/petitions/un...

Jetzt unterzeichnen: #unisretten – keine Kürzungen bei den Universitäten!
Die Regierung plant massive Einsparungen bei den Universitäten. Forschung, Lehre und freie Wissenschaft stehen jetzt auf dem Spiel.
