AI may accelerate some research tasks by an order of magnitude, but science is more than productivity.

Mentoring students, developing expertise and passing on scientific culture remain central to the research enterprise.

It's only shortly past 8 in the morning, but I need to #vent.
I just overheard a new #tenure track assistant #professor talk about how they got there.
In a nutshell, they haven't left the department since their master studies and stumbled into the tenure process by accident.

I am (kinda) happy for them, but I am also so incredibly fucking jealous!

I have switched not only university but country after every degree/job, so by now I live in country number 5 since starting by studies.
The longest I've been in the same country was during my #PhD plus pandemic and unemployment for over a year.

Especially older #academics don't seem to understand this, because whenever I mention any of this I encounter completely blank stares. Note, I'm in a department where most senior staff is local and celebrating 15-35+ years at the same employer.

I'm in my mid-30, I don't want to move every few years when my temporary contract ends.
I want to be able to plan more than 1-2 years at a time.

I absolutely love doing #research, but I hate so many aspects of #academic culture or what has been normalized over the years for #AcademicLife.
I plan on staying in #academia despite of it.

#Rant over, time to calm down and sip my tea.

I'm very honoured to be among this year's NWO (Dutch Research Council) Veni research grant recipients, for my proposal "Finding Variables that Matter"!

I cannot quite believe it, but I'm excited to get started on the actual research.

Many congratulations to all of my colleagues who received their Veni grants. Over the last few months, I was lucky enough to get to know them and their research, and I can't wait to see what they do with the funds.

I'm grateful to Delft University of Technology and all my colleagues and trainers for their support and trust. The Veni application process was part of my life for almost a year. Could not have done it without their encouragement and wisdom. Many thanks also to NWO and all reviewers and committee members!

Fin de la réunion du comité des programmes de l'#IRAM. Deux jours intenses, pendant lesquels nous avons évalué environ 150 demandes de temps pour les observatoires #NOEMA, #IRAM30m et le #VLBI. Enormément de très bon projets, qui exploitent au mieux les capacités des ces instruments, qui sont par ailleurs en constante évolution. #academiclife #vismaviedescientifique

Et c'est parti pour l'évaluation des demandes de temps d'observations avec les télescopes de l'#IRAM pour l'hiver prochain. Environ 90 demandes à évaluer, reparties à part égales entre le télescope de #30m et l'interféromètre #NOEMA, plus quelques demandes d'observation #VLBI. #academiclife #viemaviedescientifique

I just see the news that the annual #meeting of the #European #Astronomical #Society (#EAS) will be organized again as a full, in-person meeting, in spite of the fiasco from last year.

There is only one solution: #boycotting #EAS2023
