    eternally depressing when someone tries to discuss/analyze/reverse-engineer the motivations/reasoning behind some people's actions and others attack it as {justification, rationalization, agreement, endorsement} of the actions in question :/

    I wish people were better at distinguishing "I understand where this person is coming from" from "I think this person is correct". I see way too many "lol can you imagine believing X" posts, and I think if you *can't* imagine it you're probably lacking crucial empathy skills.

    A simple change to benefit early career researchers staying in academia or transitioning to industry: Get rid of "postdoctoral" in our job titles. "Research scientist" is more transferable than "postdoctoral research associate"

    The new "facts don't care about your feelings" is "Incentives don't care about your facts"

    1) In 2008 a salmon (yes the fish) was put through an MRI scanner. The salmon was shown a series of photographs of humans in social situations, and asked to determine the emotion of the person in the photo (yes, really).

    Sea sponges may appear completely sedentary, but they are highly active—in their own way. Surrounding a sponge w/ the benign dye fluorescein* reveals how quickly & efficiently it pumps & filters water, spewing like a chimney *More on the dye further down

    "A few years ago, if someone were to claim that a celebrated professor...had published a book on his own field of expertise, and the book was full of scientific and factual errors, that would’ve been a major scandal, no? But now, we’re like, yeah, sure, that’s just more same old"

    I hate the phrase "don't bring me a problem without a solution." 🤐 It discourages people from speaking up 😕 The person who notices the problem may not be able to solve it ⏰ When problem is surfaced, it may be too late Encourage problem solving AND open inquiry.

    The academic incentive structure is "funny". If I wanted to maximize academic success, I would spend almost all my time on grant writing, a minimum of time on teaching and PhD student supervision, and no time on reviewing, outreach, writing papers or even doing research myself.

    Reminder for UCU members: Not casting your vote is not an abstention, it denies everyone else their vote. Not a single vote will count unless UCU gets a 50% turnout (Trade Union laws). No matter how you vote, do not disenfranchise colleagues: post your ballot, spread the word!
