Lieblingswitz 2026:
Einer Frau hüpft ein Frosch in den Weg. "Küss mich, dann verwandle ich mich in einen schönen Prinzen!"
Die Frau packt den Frosch und steckt ihn in die Manteltasche.
Der Frosch: "He, hast du mich nicht verstanden?"
Die Frau: “Doch, aber ich will lieber einen sprechenden Frosch!”

I'm a STEM academic. All I really need to do my research, is a consumables budget of about £2k a year, some space, and some time. None of this I can have, without applying for multiple £500k projects a year, which consumes time which could actually be spent doing the research.
Incredible article which points out that it often collectively costs more to apply for scarce research funding than the funds awarded to the successful proposals.
What an absurd system we've built in the service of efficiency and competition.

Yeah, I cringed at that. I like the idea of a basic research income for all academics. Pool together if you want to work on something bigger.

That thing where students are perfectly happy in group discussions but will not speak in front of the class even though you’ve said something like ‘one person from each group needs to summarise what you talked about’. Has anyone ever worked out a way to deal with it?

Aenne Biermann (3. März 1898 - 14. Januar 1933) erlernte autodidaktisch die Fotografie und experimentierte mit Collagen, Mehrfachbelichtungen und Spiegelungen.
Vor der nationalsozialistischen Machtübernahme verstorben erlebte sie die Enteignung, Verfolgung und Flucht ihrer Familie nicht mehr.
