Happy Nordic Fathers Day to all the dads out there doing their best under the circumstances; to all the dudes who stepped up to the plate and became a father figure when a kid needed one; and to all the guys who wanted to be a dad but never got a chance.

Ny rapport om högskolornas budget: Det statliga "produktivitetsavdraget" innebär effektiviseringskrav på 1-2 % av budgeten/år. Idag har högskolorna 40 % mindre resurser per elev än för 30 år sedan, vilket minskat den lärarledda undervisningen drastiskt. tankesmedjanbalans.se/ny-rapport-o...

Picked up a copy of this classic, expecting edifying tales embodying the best of Western values – liberty, equality, and fraternity between the peoples – and found horrifying stories of anti-social dominance behavior, violence, and death ⚔️

First-world problem, admittedly, but I'm amazed at the number of for-profit corporations expecting academics to provide them with free labor upon request. What's going on? /1

Detta gick, av allt att döma, över gränsen. Aktivister måste få synas och höras – det ingår i demonstrationsfriheten. Att de är irriterande inkräktar inte på andras fri- och rättigheter. Men att sabotera andras möjligheter till forskning, undervisning och samverkan med övriga samhället gör det.
I Uppsala pågår en konferens om akademisk frihet. Inledande panel avbröts av Palestina-demonstranter igår. Det är noterbart att ingen av veckans sessioner handlar om situationen för Palestinska (eller Israeliska) universitet. www.sverigesradio.se/artikel/akti...

Focusing on Sweden, this study finds that PhD students begin their programs with similar psychiatric medication use as other master’s graduates, but usage rises sharply to about 40 percent higher by the fifth year before declining after graduation.
