While BlueSky still lacks the absolute protection that Threads offer (where I would need to approve your reply and where I can block you once and forever and any future accounts you create are also blocked, and you could not quote my skeet), still the nuclear blocks are good for these purposes.

Over on Twitter/X I said that economics seminars are the worst (after reading a paper that @johnholbein1.bsky.social shared there about how women economists are interrupted more often and in a more aggressive way), and I did not get the same pushback I would have in earlier years (still got some).

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

I mean, we all love to dump on LinkedIn, but... fellow academics, do you use LinkedIn as a platform to share knowledge/content/publications/etc.?

BTW my LinkedIn profile can be found here (I need to spruce it up):

www.linkedin.com/in/raulpache...

Connect with me if you feel so inclined, BTW.

I feel for junior scholars who need reviewers and publications! Yet peer review has fundamental problems: accelerating (unpaid) labor demands & output standards, with the potential for arbitrariness and rejection of innovative work link.springer.com/article/10.1...

NS government hired a US company (Huron) to help do a review of university programs. Cost 400K.

It did not bother to check whether Huron's methodology was compatible with local data collection practices (it wasn't).

Now Huron is trying to get unis to pay them to improve their data collection.
