Mais à l’origine, il est surtout lié au monde du travail, bien plus qu’à celui des épidémies !

⬇️ why citation metrics are often irrelevant and not indicative of the actual significance / quality of the research.
smellosopher.bsky.social Ann-Sophie Barwich @smellosopher.bsky.social · 17d
Worse, some cite their buddies and the people who they think get them attention within certain institutional networks (citation mafia, aligning with the club). The people who cry for "meritocracy" as the guiding principle seldom enact it.
stairwaytokevin.bsky.social Kevin Bird @stairwaytokevin.bsky.social · 18d
People on twitter are losing their minds over this, including several scientists who I have to assume have either brain poisoned themselves or were always like this. People don't always cite what's best; they cite what they know & researchers from historically excluded communities get the short end.

There are not enough jobs in Europe for the scholars here.

Discussing this phenomenon w/ a group of profs. Someone morbidly joked, “& northern profs are fleeing the country.” The next person said…”even if we were all willing & able to abandon this place there are not enough jobs for us globally and the U.S. employs a huge # of international scholars too.”

Currently doing some work on Renée Gailhoustet and her pioneer work on French social housing. I put her in the same category of genius as Charlotte Perriand.

Any other names that should be included in that group in your opinion?

“Why don't we have more of a political response to rising inequality in recent decades? Why are the redistributive policies that we could expect not being implemented?”
