The catastrophically low success rate isn’t because more researchers are applying.

No, the *opposite is true*: application numbers are also at historic lows.

Researchers aren’t applying because it’s not worth their time.

Fewer people, employing fewer people. Get the picture?

So you'll have to wait till season 2 to find out more about scientific change and repertoires... almost as exciting as waiting for a Netflix drop! #philsci
I have it on good authority that season 2 starts with @rachelankeny.bsky.social discussing ‘scientific repertoires’ and that it is not to be missed!
Exciting news! We are releasing a final bonus episode for Season 1 tomorrow! Not sure what time exactly as I'm still editing...but it's definitely coming :) (AND Season 2 starts next week)
