@ecoevoenviro Mass scientists' exodus to Bsky in the last couple of weeks, @ecoevoenviro.
Very active; I've had approx the same number of likes and RTs on a job post over there as I've had *views* on the same post here (with 0 likes/RTs). Starter packs make building the networks there v easy.

[Mike Fowler @theorecol]

For anyone still hanging out here, but wondering where all the cool kids have gone, start here, then follow the good vibes!

[Mike Fowler @theorecol]

@ecoevoenviro There's been a bit of an uptick recently, a few bio-facing starter packs seem to be promoting connections. Different networks, but variety, spice, etc.
Been wondering if that's enough of a nudge to properly ditch this place.

[Mike Fowler @theorecol]

Just in case anyone sciencey is still hanging out here, go and follow me on Blue Sky and/or consider contacting me about this short-term Postdoc position.

@sMarten_Winter @ucu Would they?
I think it rather highlights the total lack of self-awareness of the people earning those salaries, but seemingly incapable of lobbying for a more sustainable funding model in UK Higher Ed, which should be a core part of a job associated with such a salary.

[Mike Fowler @theorecol]

I, for one, simply cannot fathom why UK Higher Education is facing an enormous financial black hole, which will lead to major academic & support staff redundancies.

On this day in 1971, Simone Langenhoff, aged 6, was killed while cycling to school; hit by a speeding driver.

Her death and the movement started by her father, Vic Langenhoff, a newspaper journalist, changed an entire country and saved thousands of Dutch lives. Here's how 🧵

[Mike Fowler @theorecol]

This is definitely another one of those "In (very) slightly different circumstances, I'd be putting all my efforts into applying for this" positions.

@Disology1 A thing of great insight!

I had a thought last night.

@Disology1 *our.
I should've got AI to proof read that for me.

[Mike Fowler @theorecol]

@Disology1 Good grief! It's like you're inside the chatGPT session our VC clearly used to write out mission statement.

@Disology1 😅
Coming soon, from a University Press near you.
