“Elite East coast”, and waiting for someone to do this for academics from East and West Germany (invite me, I’ll have lots to write in your open text answers).
In our research on socioeconomic background in academia, we ran a survey. Over 2,000 faculty members responded (thanks if you were one!)

Social & cultural capital showed up time and again as key issues.

A few findings you might be interested in...🧵
❓ What do people’s own words reveal about their economic decisions?

A new JEL article by Ingar Haaland, Christopher Roth, Stefanie Stantcheva and Johannes Wohlfart shows how open-ended survey responses offer insights that standard surveys often miss.

Nu de Huntebrug bij Oldenburg ook stuk is maakt het eigenlijk niet meer uit.
Groningen is voortdurende vertraging bij aanleg spoor naar Bremen beu
In een boze brief hekelen Groningse bestuurders het "gebrek aan urgentie" bij de Duitsers.

Early career person in my group had a paper desk rejected with the most generic explanation (3 sentence email) after a TWO MONTHS wait. I’m *so* close to emailing the editor.

Erzwungene Ruhe im digitalen Raum ist nur eine Scheinlösung

Hab mir jetzt noch mal alle Kommissionsmitglieder im Detail angeschaut, immerhin ist die Sozialpädagogik mit Truels Reichardt und Denise Loop vertreten. Das absolute Übergewicht der Vertretung der Wirtschaft macht mir aber Sorgen.
Enttäuschend zu sehen, dass fast niemand der Sachverständigen in der Corona Enquete-Kommission aus dem Bereich Bildung/Kinder&Jugendliche/Entwicklung kommt.

Some people call it a minefield. Others call it dangerous, even irresponsible. I call it the most promising field in life sciences.
