"After 16 years in academia, I’ve become more selective about collaboration. It remains a joy and a blessing, but I’ve also learned how quickly 'we' can turn wicked." #ScienceWorkingLife. https://t.co/fIkRDNS8af

not to mention the stress of having to work under the type of toxic characters who are able to obtain postdoc funding

[Andrew Akbashev @Andrew_Akbashev]

Postdoc time is often harder than PhD.

You have little time. Competition is higher. And you MUST stand out.

+ Your contract may end any moment.

+ Your salary is often low (for your age/education).

+ You’ve just relocated and prepare to relocate again.

No wonder that Max Planck Society survey showed that depression and anxiety of postdocs is rising.

Interestingly, Max Planck Institutes have substantial internal funding. So, in theory there should be less pressure to apply for grants, and everyone should be enjoying science. And yet the pressure on postdocs is immense.

📍 Many postdocs want to stay in academia.

They want to apply for faculty positions or become senior scientists.

Some of them achieve it. Others don’t.

❗️Why things don’t work out:

In a recent workshop Q&A session, I discussed various scenarios and behind-the-scenes processes that PhD students should keep in mind if they’re considering a postdoc:

“Postdocs: Competition, Hardship and Faculty Positions”

Multiple sources state Red Sox are interested in trading for 'middle of the lineup power bat' and have been eyeing Rafael Devers.

Breaking: MLB will implement the Automated Ball-Strike Challenge System starting in the 2026 season (ABS).

Each team will get two challenges and can keep them if they're successful. Challenges can only be initiated by a pitcher, catcher, or batter, and the request must come right after the pitch.

@twiabp i wouldn’t know (maybe someday), but i’ve seen lots of people play them. i guess it was a bad repair job. personally i wouldn’t gig with a guitar that had major repairs like that. it would get annexed / retired to the studio graveyard and i’d put another in the rotation.

@GetAlternative you might want to look at changing your host

[Shane Claiborne @ShaneClaiborne]

The first word in JD Vance’s bio is “Christian.” The word Christian means “Christ-like.” And yet the rhetoric and policies of this administration betray the most fundamental teachings of Christ.

Many Christians will defend this.
And folks like @Franklin_Graham will be more offended that Vance cussed, than that he is killing people.

Nevertheless, as Christians and people of conscience we cannot be silent. We must take back our faith from these politicians who use Christianity to try to camouflage their racism and bigotry.
