Still not sure I understand how this works - often I see multiple posts and reposts of the same thing plastering my feed, while missing entire discussions about other stuff. Hints?

Newsflash from Germany’s international connectivity. It is much faster to fly to Frankfurt to get to the city near Stuttgart than to fly to Stuttgart. Find the mistake.

Besonders weil im internationalen Vergleich auch das “reguläre” Universitätsdeputat VIEL zu hoch ist wenn man den ebenfalls zu hohen dezentralen Verwaltungsaufwand bei international notwendiger Vergleichbarkeit von Forschung und Publikation bedenkt

The hits keep coming. “The departments that won’t be accepting Ph.D. students now include art history, cinema and media studies, classics, comparative literature, East Asian languages and civilizations, English language and literature, Germanic studies, linguistics, Middle Eastern studies…”

More UChicago Ph.D. Programs Will Pause Admissions
The arts and humanities dean said “nearly all” faculty leaders preferred “a broader pause for the division.” Some social sciences programs also aren’t accepting new students.

This is a fucking travesty by my alma mater. Sadie T.M. Alexander was not just the first black woman graduate at Penn Law, she was the first black woman to receive a PhD in economics ANYWHERE, and was the first black woman to practice law in the state of Pennsylvania. She's a true pioneer.

Ah the slippery slope of having ethics. Eerily reminiscent of the „but I‘m the good guy!“ argument when doing questionable things.

“‘If this is the price to pay for me to be able to work and my students not to go and sell shoes at Walmart, I think I can live with that,’ Gerard Karsenty, chair of [Columbia’s] genetics department, said.” I wonder how they think about entitlement, honor, dignity, etc., in the genetics department.

Racism live as it hapens. Radio commentator of BR24 for the women’s soccer EM quarter final Germany vs France says about the German’s (Hendrich) foul by pulling Mbock’s hair: “the German didn’t do it on purpose” but rather Mbock had “such mighty hair (!!!)” that Hendrich “had to grasp it” (!!!!)

2020 ist Jens Spahn von ihrem Ehemann Hubertus Gersdorf massiv kritisiert worden, weil er das Urteil des Verfassungsgerichts zur Sterbehilfe ignoriert hat. Irgendwie kriege ich Fantasien, dass es jetzt auch um Rache geht. www.ndr.de/fernsehen/se...

If people think American scientists are somehow going to land in Europe, I've got news for you about the difference between millions and billions. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Bar chart titled "Matters of Scale" comparing proposed US research budget cuts to the European Union's €500-million (US$571-million) "Choose Europe" fund. The chart shows:

* National Institutes of Health (NIH): $8 billion in cancelled grants and $18 billion in proposed cuts by 2026 (long orange bar).
* National Science Foundation (NSF): $5.1 billion in proposed cuts by 2026 (shorter orange bar).
* EU's Choose Europe fund: $571 million (very short blue bar).

The graphic highlights that the EU fund is much smaller in scale compared to the US budget cuts. Text above the chart explains the EU’s intention to attract US researchers in response to policy decisions by the convicted felon and rapist Donald Trump.

Shannon has been such a support & lodestar for me over the past decade; a brilliantly inventive scholar and astonishingly generous human. So much of what she writes so beautifully here is resonant, of being (a woman) in arts/humanities academia, and of carving weirder paths through the green 🌿

Die vielfältigen Bezüge auf die BRD zu Zeiten Christos, die fast künstlich anmutende Inszenierung eines überholten Modells a la Demand sowie der schleierhaft drapierte „Schutz“ aka der geschmolzenen Glass Ceiling zeigen das feministische Potential dieser dringenden wie radikalen Installation.

AI-assisted search suffers from the classic "we’ll deploy the beta and let usage smooth out the rough edges” problem, run amok. It’s a category problem. It’s never going to be fixed through training alone. Believing otherwise is essentially an article of faith backed by monetary incentives.

Harvard's revamp of their research landing page is excellent--not only does it make their stance crystal clear (that is, not just an email sent to alums and current affiliates), but it makes a broader claim about the significance of American higher education (rather than just Harvard)

I 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.
