Nothing makes you feel like a snitch quite like recommending an alternative reviewer.

Newcomers to @univie.ac.at, this is your PSA that on Oct 8th, there is an official "Welcome brunch for new members of staff (in English)" that serves as your entry-point & intro to the university. That's where I learned about the uni's structure & insider perks.

I am currently chairing a network very close to my heart, namely the Eastern European Network for Philosophy of Science. It finally has an account here @eenphilsci.bsky.social. To start here's a moving piece by a Bulgarian philosopher and a founding member Lilia Gurova on how it all began.
History and motivations
How It All Started In the spring of 2015, the Steering Committee (SC) of the European Philosophy of Science Association (EPSA) announced for the first time 13 fellowships for junior scholars from...

Niemand:

Dt. Wissenschaftssystem: "Lass mal alle Postdocs zwingen, all ihre Anstrengungen auf Erhalt einer Professur auszurichten, die die allermeisten von ihnen nie bekommen!"

Warum Engführung auf Professur als Zielpunkt 1 Fehler ist & wie es anders ginge: Heute in #ArbeitInderWiss! #IchBinHanna
‚Qualifikation‘ ins Nichts: Deutschlands dysfunktionale Postdoc-Phase
Das deutsche System investiert ohne Ende öffentliche Gelder, um damit die Anstrengungen zahlreicher Postdocs zu finanzieren, Leitungspositionen zu erreichen, die es gar nicht gibt.

Übrigens ist es unsäglicher Blödsinn, Befristung ohne Perspektive in der Wissenschaft als Dienst an zukünftigen Generationen verkaufen zu wollen. Auch andere sollen die Chance haben, unter prekären Bedingungen zu arbeiten & nach 12 Jahren rauszufliegen? Na vielen Dank auch. #IchBinHanna #WissZeitVG

Wie immer sehr lesenswert, aber diesen Newsletter fühle ich ganz besonders. Danke!
Das Ende meiner Zeit in der Wissenschaft ist absehbar: Ich bin nach wie vor befristet, ohne Entfristungs-Perspektive. Was das mit mir macht? Trauer & Frust sind inzwischen was anderem gewichen: Erleichterung. Denn ich hab es satt, dieses Leben unter Vorbehalt. Heute in #ArbeitInDerWiss! #IchBinHanna
Wissenschaft jetzt, Leben später
Wenn ich an das Leben ohne Wissenschaft denke, das mir bevorsteht, dann spüre ich nun, mit fast 40, kaum noch Frust oder Trauer, sondern die Vorahnung einer tiefen Erleichterung.

Just found an old image only computer. Sadly, I don't know who to credit for it, but it remains accurate. These days, I think I might label this 'The Method of Reflective Equilibrium' to make it sound more respectable.
