Anna-Maria Meister @tweetissima.bsky.social · 09/04/2025I think the fact the US academia trains PhDs already early to act as individuals and in competition with each other, discourages to share resources and information etc hinders the ability now to create solidarity pacts and organize - but yes, that’s the only meaningful way forward. 030
