It’s Not Your Fault That Academic Life is Getting Harder by Glen O’Hara

Have jumped on the bandwagon and also ordered this. I mean, £6000 reduced to 10p for a shiny hardback geo text book - it would be rude not to!
Treatise of Geophysics hardback book costing just 10 cents right now on Elsevier, what the fuck? And shipping for free? Can we actually make Elsevier lose money? 🧪 #Geology ⚒️

This is 150% “a thing” in the academy.
A friend of mine (WoC) recently bailed on a TT job after just 2 years for a diff Uni. She’s a rockstar, but right after hiring her they started reneging on every promise they’d made in her tenure pkg.
I hope the new gig treats her better, but I’m not hopeful.

Thinking a lot about this article today after three relatively junior women, including me, resigned from my department—two of us deciding to leave academia entirely—in a little over a month.

No, we do not have only 'two years left to save the earth.'
First, it's not about saving the earth. This ball of rock will be orbiting the sun long after we're gone. It's about saving all of us living things that call it home.
Second, there is no such deadline. What the science says is very clear:

And if you try to do that as a woman you're seen as uncollegial
A study on what many of us already know: over 75% of internal service work in academia is done by women. The bit that gets me:”The male associate professors in particular made it clear that they actively engaged in evasiveness and did not want to participate if it was not positive for their careers”
Women end up doing the academic housework
