Interesting that Shaw has founded the primary school I went to, in a very poor and disconnected town in West China. He has built uncountable schools like that in the rural regions for better education conditions of children.

Wow, just wow!🤩Huge congratulations to our President-elect Patrick Cramer, director at the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Science @mpi_nat @CramerLab, on being awarded the 2023 #ShawPrize for #LifeScience & #Medicine for groundbreaking research in #structuralbiology!🙃He shares the prize with Eva Nogales @UCBerkeley.🥳🙃🤗@ShawPrize @maxplanckpress #genetranscription

A moving detail: upon the pressure from being a refugee and even rumours that he would impose Islamic sharia law in the town, he refused to the suggestion of advertising that he is actually not a Muslim, because he didn’t want to stigmatize Muslims.

via @NYTimes. It is a truly moving story of a refugee fled to Germany in 2015 turned out to be the good friend of locals and became the Mayor of the town. Germany is more ready than we thought to embrace other cultures. https://t.co/CB14sYWnuf

@HeckmannLea @uniinnsbruck @MAGICtelescopes Congratulations, Lea! What a comprehensive story on the orbit of your doctor hat!

die untersehr instabilen Finanzierungsperioden durch das Stipendium leiden. Ich glaube, das ist nicht das, was Sie sich wünschen. 4/

Etwas hat mich getriggert. Ich wünschte mir, dass alle Institutionen, die Stipendien an deutsche Doktoranden vergeben, überprüfen, ob diese mit ihrem ursprünglichen Ziel übereinstimmen. Wir haben Umfragedaten, die deutlich darauf hinweisen, dass die meisten Stipendiaten im 1/

bei denen das Stipendium als Arbeitsvertrag über die Forschungsinstitute verschickt wird. Die Max-Planck-Gesellschaft hat das interne Stipendium seit 2019 abgeschafft und vergibt stattdessen allen Doktoranden angemessene Arbeitsverträge. Ich habe so viele Kollegen gesehen, 3/

I am proud of my peers for making it possible. Is it something that many universities and research institutes can consider?

[Ana Yagüe Relimpio @scientific_ana]

So happy to see this happening! From today there are free period products available in our institute @mpi_mr_hd for everyone who needs them 🥳 thanks @ElisabethFuhry for helping and making it become a reality!

How short-term contracts make life hard? 1/ My application of permanent residence ran longer than 1.5 year, and last objection reason is that my contract ends soon. 2/ Consistently not possible to rent an apartment because the landlords want someone who can show more stability.

Woman in STEM,
we need your help!

In November @SarahAEYoung and I are giving a workshop to encourage female students in STEM and we're nervous!

Therefore we will ask for your input in the coming weeks and would happy and grateful.

. Yet we have hope, in line with Prof. Ulman Lindenberger’s motivation, that the efforts we (as doctoral researchers and policy makers) make will shape the academia a better place than it is today.

In the @maxplanckphdnet general meeting today. It was an emotional moment for people at presence when one of the representatives talks about how the hierarchy is being the barrier of power abuse prevention. Behind the words we hear silent struggles, anger, and the urge to reform

Here is the newest research showing that vaccine inequity does not benefit high-income countries especially on the long run:https://t.co/qGJXCBgVGa

[Hang Liu @theHangLiu]

What can inequality cause in a global problem? Endless mutations and endless waves.

When being a representative of my institute PhDs, I had difficulty finding suggestions of measures to improve the mental health of PhDs, here is a well-written resource based on solid survey data, which I believe can be beneficial for many institutes’ policymakers.

📢 Check out our new article in which we identify possible causes for the worsened #MentalHealthInAcademia by using data from our large survey. We also share ideas on how to improve the situation and conduct #research in a healthier environment.

holding the “trash bags”, and heading to the blizzard and fog? Demna’s home has been destroyed in 1993 Georgia, he was afterward a refugee in Russia, Ukraine, and Germany. That is something left from his childhood, which just recurred now in 2022 for many people. Where do we go?

[Hang Liu @theHangLiu]

Just watched Demna Gvasalia’s newest creation, 360° show. It is a thrilling masterpiece. When we look back to the history of wars, we might keep our distance. Here is the future of wars, how do you feel? How about the bourgeoisie walking through the nuclear winter,

[Hang Liu @theHangLiu]

When checking up the list of positions offered to Ukraine/Russian researchers, I was very touched. Science has never been independent of politics, but the light of humanity shines through the fog of difficult politics. I hope those who had to leave home can find their home back.
