Der heutige #OneHealthDay erinnert daran wie eng Mensch-, Tier- und Umweltgesundheit verbunden sind. Auch die #BEready-Studie der #unibern zeigt, wie interdisziplinäre Forschung helfen kann, Infektionskrankheiten besser zu verstehen und vorzubeugen: www.beready.unibe.ch

Is @who.int trying to get rid of health promotion?
We say that this wouldn't just be unwise.
It would be disastrous.

The many remarkable city-building legacies of Paris Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social, including brand new Seine swimming pool openings, are discussed in this @politico.eu article, quoting many including Canadian urbanist @brenttoderian.bsky.social.
She’s leaving office next year. BIG shoes to fill.
Seine swimming pool opening gives Paris mayor another jewel in her green crown
Making the famed river swimmable is one of the final big projects Anne Hidalgo will inaugurate before she leaves office next year.

So glad you enjoyed!

A WaPo reporter once argued that US democracy might be better of if Mitch McConnell and Pelosi met regularly in swimming suits, just like Swiss MPs do in the bipartisan „Gruppe Aareschwimmen“.

In der Wissenschaft wird meist verlangt, dass Bewerber*innen Unmengen an Zeit investieren, um zu beweisen, dass sie auch wirklich (ja, wirklich!) gut genug für die Stelle sind. Warum das Motivation tötet und letztlich nur abschreckt, dazu @amreibahr.bsky.social. #ArbeitInDerWiss #IchBinHanna
Unverhältnismäßig und demotivierend: Bewerbungen in der Wissenschaft
Warum ist jede Teiletappe des sisyphosesken Bewerbungsmarathons in der Wissenschaft eigentlich so ätzend, dass einem das ganze Unterfangen früher oder später den letzten Nerv raubt?

When you have lived experience *and* professional qualifications related to your work, other people tend to focus on one and minimize the other. You are peer OR professional, but seldom both. This shows up in peer roles, critical disciplines and student affairs, and more.

6k euro to publish a paper in Lancet Public Health

Let’s just sit & think about that

Students & post docs need these publications for their career

Our institutions, who don’t fund us properly, want us to publish in these journals

We raise the cash, do the research & reviewing for these journals
