      Compressed everything I learned about how life sciences work in the last year (and 100+ interviews) into 6000 words:https://guzey.com/how-life-sciences-actually-work/ …

      Very interesting. Someone really should do comparative research like this between US/UK/FR/DE/SE/JP systems not to compare systems but to see what trends/observations are system/culture specific and what are general features.

          Many of these resonate with my experiences of research in Australia, New Zealand, and Japan but I'd be interested in a more systematic comparison. There are local differences but all lack funds for fundamental research, ECRs, and increasing pressure to publish with peer-review.

          German funding is political in ways I never thought possible. That is my observation on 2.5 years in the system. Also remarkably ageist.
