Are paper rejections really that bad? My papers get read by ~3 people on average. Each rejection means a resubmission, which means 3 more readers. After 4 rejections, that's double-digit readership.

Thrilled to share my final PhD paper is out in Frontiers in Immunology! 🧬 We show ROP5B is the key driver of Toxoplasma gondii virulence in mice, countered by IRG-GBP interplay.
Huge thanks to my co-authors & @UniFreiburg 🙏

@TrendsParasitol @CIBSS_UniFR @UniFreiburg Very happy to have our review online. Have a look to the 360 review that Aura created, there we summarise the core of our review! Many aspects still to understand specially in the context of wild intermediate host!

Great teamwork with Aura, who created the figures, and Tobi, who has contributed significantly to our understanding of IRG/ROP complexes.

Our lab’s first study is now published!🥳

We sought to identify novel human neuro-inflammatory viruses. Instead, we began a fantastic odyssey and discovered a trojan-horse #virus, lurking within one of the world’s most common brain #parasites 👇 🧵 [1/8]

@dw_politics Hope this is going to change soon. I am leaving six years in Germany and finished my PhD on March this year. However was banned from continue working because my work permit was not extended on time after several months of application. Here is my tweet https://t.co/tpqYIYpu3i

I was informed yesterday that I'm no longer allowed to work as a postdoc at the IMMH Uniklinik Freiburg and that I'm no longer insured, because my work permit was not extended in time. After sending the first set of documents for visa extension on 20.02.23 ......

@GS01369052 Dear Geroen. Thanks a lot for sharing, this already helps. Probably I am not the only one in this situation. Many greetings from Freiburg!

[Mateo Murillo León @MateoMurilloL]

@BAMF_Dialog @sandpiper_89 @Uniklinik_Fr @UniFreiburg @BAMF_Dialog Thank you very much for replying. Since 20.02.23 the authorities here in Freiburg received my extension request, today they replied that are waiting for the work permit from the @Bundesagentur. The @Bundesagentur in Freiburg, says today that I should wait. How long?

[Mateo Murillo León @MateoMurilloL]

@sandpiper_89 @Uniklinik_Fr @UniFreiburg @BAMF_Dialog Thanks Daniel!!

[Mateo Murillo León @MateoMurilloL]

how to speed up the process of obtaining a work permit, even if all the documents have already been submitted? @Uniklinik_Fr; @UniFreiburg;@DAAD_Germany; @ResearchGermany ;@EmbajadaColDE;@BAMF_Dialog

[Mateo Murillo León @MateoMurilloL]

but the news says that Germany is making the system more flexible. I still have my doubts!
I thought the process would be smooth as I had just obtained a German doctorate with a DAAD scholarship, but obviously, this was not the case. Does anyone have any advice on ....
