While my fieldwork is going great in Cyprus, I am also giving a talk on my related at Home for Cooperation - a place for hope at the buffer zone. I am looking forward to this. When everything else at work becomes hard, my research gives me so much meaning.

Currently in Cyprus to resume my NWO-XS grant interviews. Such an incredible welcome from my colleagues here. The interviews are also super interesting on the topic of intergroup apologies regarding the frozen conflict and the division of the island.

I received minor corrections today. I sat down and did them immediately. Like all on the same day. Proud. A nice birthday gift is coming.

It’s unmanageable. 100 times resetting password but it does it for author but not reviewer log in. Or vice versa. Madness.

I have decided not to submit articles to journals that use editorialmanager as their system. Likewise for reviewing. It's impossible to log in. Ever.

New paper alert: You cannot respond to a risk if you do not recognise it first. Understanding how people perceive STI & HIV risk is crucial for encouraging testing, partner notification, and ultimately reducing transmission. A wonderful student-led collaboration www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Ashamed of politicians across the spectrum here in Europe for having ignored the genocide and continuing to do so. *All* human rights orgs working on the ground agree with this assessment, including *all* Israeli ones. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/s...

Does being a progressive man come at a social cost? Not at all; it pays off. Across 4 prereg. experiments, progressive men were perceived more positively than traditionally masculine men. Ayca’s second PhD paper already published nearing the submission of her PhD! Very proud! doi.org/10.1002/casp...

Got a paper rejection and minor revisions today. Looks like academia is coming back to work after summer holidays. I am not yet.

What is gained through the public humiliation of Jason Arday is of course the reinforcement of racial hierarchy under the guise of meritocracy. Far far greater sins committed by members of dominant groups in academia are routinely absolved as individual foibles.

This is appalling and tragic. Cambridge University, the media, and those far right 'scholars' and hangers on who sought to capitalise on this case for social media clout surely bear responsibility for what feels like an entirely predictable outcome. www.lbc.co.uk/article/jaso...

They were warned that this was a likely outcome, and they made fun of the warnings and carried on anyway.

“What if we come back with guests?” is a nice version of it. My mom would say “what if we have an accident and can’t come back? those who will come home will shame us for the mess when we die” 😂😂

My house is the cleanest when I am about to travel. Fresh sheets, no laundry, no trash, cleaned fridge, everywhere vacuumed, no mess left around. I leave it in a pristine condition to find it like that upon return. Do I value my future self more than my current self?

At the general meeting of EASP, we are discussing whether voting rights should be extended to PhD students and there are people arguing against… Insane. They are fee paying members and they don’t have voting rights - that’s what we should be worried about, not anything else.

I’m tired of AI being attached to everything. My work computer was updated and now ADOBE offers to summarise long PDFs. I do use AI but I don’t want it to be enforced on me.

It should have been three tiers: divide the second class into naturalized whites and naturalized people of colour, and make the latter even more precarious like deport them if they voice an opinion or something. Without any due diligence.

But academia isn’t ready for this. Those who get one grant keep getting it forever. It’s seen as a measure of success. The way to further open the gap between competitors. “The candidate doesn’t have previous grants” is the most ridiculous justification not to give the next one. Forever loser.
