@StadelMarie and @SchwarzbachNina philosophizing about their job and talking to interesting people in and about academia. 🍀🌻☘️🌼🌿

[GrowingWithAcademia @GrowingAcademia]

Hey Twitter! Recently, some people have been comparing the job of academics to professional sports. So we wrote a post about it! We especially focused on what effects we think that it has when we hold on to this analogy. Spoiler: no good. 🦹‍♂️

Long time no read! 📔

We wrote a new post about our academic insecurities. Read about what the devil on our shoulder thinks we're doing wrong in our PhDs. 👿

Last year we wrote a post about this issue and hoped that things would improve after a constructive discussion with the program management @rug_gmw . Sad to hear that's not the case...

“If you talk to people and you ask very direct questions, people are often more [critical about their own work]. It’s the end product that needs to be shiny” @bringmann_laura

For the last years, scholarship students experience multiple disadvantages compared to regular PhD candidates while doing similar work. This petition calls for the immediate termination of the scholarship experiment: https://t.co/mTKzHsNZI2

Excellent short blog post explaining why thinking of science as a competitive sport is terrible https://t.co/U6t1ENgAQj by @SchwarzbachNina & @StadelMarie

Un blog post fantastíco que explica porque pensar de ciencia como un deporte competitivo es terrible

[Rink Hoekstra @RinkHoekstra]

We should listen more to ECRs! In this nice blogpost (https://t.co/nk7d160VTS), @SchwarzbachNina and @StadelMarie (both very ECR), write about risks of comparing science to professional sport, and about how focussing on competition ignores the inevitable role of (bad) luck.

Thanks to our new illustrator @KiltzLisa for the amazing illustrations! 🌺

[Anne Scheel @annemscheel]

Fascinating interview with Marcel Levi. No doubt he's extremely gifted and accomplished, but I find it quite worrying that the new head of the Dutch Research Council @NWONieuws seems oblivious to important system dynamics like the Matthew effect and survivorship bias. 1/

@Dr_Christoph @kevinh1000 @tomgauld thank you, amazing!

[GrowingWithAcademia @GrowingAcademia]

Hello Twitter people, can you recommend someone that makes caricatures/sketches related to science and academia? Thanks already🎨
