Made a Mastodon account - I am @[email protected] who else has Mastodon now?

Some of the most measured voices I’m hearing on here, the ones who seem most serious about ending this agony, seem to come from Israelis whose loved ones have just been murdered or abducted by Hamas.

Some examples… 🧵 ⬇️

Rutgers University Senate has voted no confidence in the leadership of University President Jonathan Holloway. 65.4% voted no confidence.

@justicedems A left platform for COVID mitigation and elimination should include:
-high indoor air quality standards w/CO2 monitoring
-free masks, tests, vax and treatment
-airborne infection control in hospitals
-universal paid sick leave

We are seeking an Associate Professor in human behavioral ecology and evolutionary medicine https://t.co/frg73a833W

[Rob Scott @RobScottAnthro]

@Partha_Marcus If that person can have a work visa by 9/6/2023. Which is prob impossible unless someone already has status. We filled it abroad last time but delayed start date to Jan 1 which we can’t do this time.

[Rob Scott @RobScottAnthro]

Help! We really need folks to teach Anthropology courses in the Fall: https://t.co/STCxOlkYzP Our per course Lecturer minimum is now $7788. Plus we need a 1-year full time person to teach primatology and/or human behavoral ecology courses.

[Rob Scott @RobScottAnthro]

@lisamdanish All classes are in-person.

[Rob Scott @RobScottAnthro]

STILL have not filled a non-renewable 1-year full time position at $70k to teach 5 courses next year. I am a bit desperate. We could fill the position with a primatologist willing to teach intro Life of Primates and upper level Primate Nutritional Ecology https://t.co/IhuB36qbo5

[Rob Scott @RobScottAnthro]

@jbsilk1 @siobhanmattison Indeed, relocating comes at a hefty cost.

[Rob Scott @RobScottAnthro]

@bergeycm Also, $70k is contractual minimum. I will always make the argument up about what the market demands.

[Rob Scott @RobScottAnthro]

@MSBbirds @siobhanmattison The big problem is that the job is nonrenewable. No one wants to relocate for $70k and NO future. I explained this to Dean-land. What do you do when socialism says offer more to be just and capitalism says offer more to fill the position and Deans are just like, nah?

[Rob Scott @RobScottAnthro]

I am starting to think solving the cattle shooting will be easier than filling these positions. Min salary is $7788 no benefits.

[Rob Scott @RobScottAnthro]

Perhaps you don’t have information on the cattle shooting and can’t collect the reward? But maybe you can teach Anthropology of China or Psychology and Culture or Primate Nutritional Ecology for us? https://t.co/STCxOlkYzP

[Rob Scott @RobScottAnthro]

@TheRealNYCEP - know any primatologists or human behavioral ecologists looking for a full-time teaching position next year?

If you have lived through anxiety, you KNOW that covid cautiousness has nothing to do with anxiety. The feeling states are entirely different. They are not comparable, except in how other people perceive your actions and mistake them for "anxiety". 10/x

Rutgers University Senate just voted no confidence in President Holloway for failure to respect shared governance and violation of University policy 50.2.2. https://t.co/OotRnKyFiL
