In particular, experts need to be supported by academic and research institutions, policymakers, and journalists." - New paper: science denial, insect apocalypse and biodiversity loss, by @manusaunders on the Ecology is Not a Dirty Word blog.

Fantastic PhD opportunity at Northumbria University with Dr. Monika Markowska -"Unravelling past dryland hydroclimate"
Mon is a good egg - maybe the most important criteria for doing a PhD!

Hey brains trust, I am facilitating some #ShutUpAndWrite sessions at #MPIC for the next 6 weeks. We are doing 2 hour sessions. I'm planning ten minutes of 'intention setting', 50 minutes of work, then a 10 minute break to chat, then 50 minutes work.
Any suggestions welcome. I've done pomodoros in the past, but found a lot of the group wouldwork through the five minute break.

6 years since my post-PhD bike tour in Patagonia. The friction between being career oriented and pursuing that ephemeral research career, while also being constantly tempted to sell all my stuff and travel the world is real.
I ended my PhD completely burned out and a husk of a person. Spending 3 months in a tent cycling and hiking every day, rising and sleeping with the sun, was so restorative.

It seems that MCRs may just be 'ageing out' as more senior academics delay retirement/there are no new positions being created. In conversation about this with my office mate, we were discussing what it will be like when we are old academics (assuming we snag that dream job somewhere), and delaying our own retirement because we will probably still be paying off our homes, as the longer duration spent postdocing now delays those 'adult' decisions. (2/2)

The past few years, we have been collecting demographic data with conference registration for the association I'm involved in. My Friday Fun was to pull the data together and have a look, and as usual, it's kind of depressing (if you are stuck in postdoc limbo, and/or Not A Man). The trend of declining representation of Not Men with career progression no longer shocks me. What stood out to me this year was the high number of academics relative to MCRs. (1/2)

In today's attempt to be a more organised person, how are people organising their notes/annotated bibliographies? I'm trying to become more methodical with my reading and note taking.

Lab days are an exercise in zen. Nothing like watching all the careful organisation go out the window. Of course, not preparing isn't an option either.

What are the most important pieces of advice for early career researchers thinking about writing an NIH grant? What was most useful to you, or what do you wish you had known but didn’t?
Happy to hear the worst advice also… 😬
