Academia shapes you slowly, subtly, and without asking permission. Here's a new resource to help you process that and come back to the real you.

Congress MUST save science‼️ America’s scientific future depends on what Congress does next - Congress should fund extensions to fellowships and training grants, bridge support for early-career laboratories and opportunities for displaced researchers to resume their work. Agencies should extend eligibility windows for career development awards, and universities should adjust promotion timelines and protect trainees. Researchers should not lose their next opportunity because of interruptions imposed on them. Recovery also requires welcoming scientists from around the world. The federal government must provide predictable visa processes, and research institutions must sustain international collaboration...Congress must put lasting protections for scientific independence into law. Suspending, terminating or withholding awards should require documented grounds tied to published criteria and timely access to independent review. #science #research #academia #HigherEd #universities

Seven years. Five Danish universities. One independent developer.
New on my blog: how the Funding Apps ecosystem — AI-powered grant matching platforms now part of the daily routine of researchers and research managers at SDU, DTU, AU, AAU and CBS — grew from a single campus PoC into a de facto national standard.

Here is our union chapter's press release:
Cornell AAUP Releases Statement on Faculty Senate Vote on Resolution of No Confidence in University Central Administration
For immediate release
Ithaca, NY – Friday, November 6, 2026
Cornell faculty members voted decisively to hold the Cornell central administration accountable for its failure to effectively address the crisis of sexual assault at the University.
The Faculty Senate Resolution of No Confidence in the Cornell Central Administration, sponsored by nearly 200 Cornell faculty members, including 19 Cornell Faculty Senators, passed by a margin of 75 to 50. In the 56 years since the establishment of the Faculty Senate at Cornell, the body has never taken such a significant step to condemn the actions of leadership. The vote represents the voices of faculty from across every department in every school across the University, and is a signal to our students that we stand with them in working toward a Cornell that we can all be proud of.
The vote is an unprecedented opportunity for the University to reckon with the endemic problem of sexual assault by taking bold steps. We renew our call for the resignations of President Michael Kotlikoff, Vice President for Student and Campus Life Ryan Lombardi, and other responsible administrators who have been the source of the faculty’s loss of confidence by mishandling responses to alarming rates of sexual assault. President Kotlikoff and VP Lombardi have failed in their attention to student well-being and accountability. For Cornell to restore good faith and confidence in democratic governance for shaping positive reforms, there must be a change in leadership.
We also call on the Board of Trustees to affirm the Faculty Senate’s vote and thereby comply with its obligation to shared and democratic governance at Cornell. In the October 14th Faculty Senate meeting, President Kotlikoff made his case against the “no confidence” resolution by stating that he has “the support of the trustees.” The next day, the New York Times reported that emeritus trustee and donor John Dyson argued, “The trustees run the university legally and in fact. The faculty think they do, but they don’t, and I’m quite sure the trustees have great confidence in Mike Kotlikoff, he’s a very special, high quality person.” In the name of shared governance and moving forward, the Board of Trustees must acknowledge the accountability of Cornell’s central administration and disavow Dyson’s assertion.
Only in these ways can the University demonstrate that it is serious about remedying past failures, holding leadership responsible, and rebuilding trust.
