The German Federal Minister @starkwatzinger's amendment proposals to the Academic Fixed-Term Contract Act are an absolute slap in the face to everyone who's been invested in calling out current issues with German #academia and suggesting genuine solutions. #WissZeitVG 1/ Slogan from the ministry's webpage "Gute Arbeitsbedingu
For a start, much of the proposed "reform" is just hot air. E.g., Encouraging universities to give #PhD candidates an initial 3-year contract: Thankfully, most already do this and those that don't aren't going to be won over by a new "it would be nice if you could..." clause. 2/ Qualifizierungsphase vor der Promotion (R1): Ziel: Wir schaf
Nothing about changing the fact that the 6-year cap on #PhD contracts applies regardless of whether the contract is 50%, 75% or 100% FTE. Thus effectively confirming that doctoral researchers on part-time contract are expected to complete their PhDs in their free time or quit. 3/

#Decolonization is working well when the ilk of @sagarikaghose start writing stuff like "India should move past the decolonisation debate".

Who wants to go first to destroy her narrative?

#Decolonisation is just beginning in India. The Raj is still not dead in colonized minds in India. There is no debating that decolonisation is the need of the hour. English language is not a measure of intelligence.
PG Wodehouse, Shakespeare are not taught in Britain. Why are they taught in India? Britain’s imperial desires #Racist #Literature wanted to influence Indian social life style, culture and literature of Indian subcontinent. #Decolonize

1/7 Heute geht es um die Arbeitsbedingungen & Karrieregestaltung in der Wissenschaft. Jede Hanna-Geschichte ist anders, daher lade ich alle herzlichst ein hier zu kommentieren. !B #IchBinHanna #IchBinReyhan #WasPostdocsWollen
@DrKEichhorn @LadyBitchRay1 @AmreiBahr @SebastianKubon Das Foto zeigt eine animierte Forscherin im weißen Kittel,
2/7 Vorweg: es ist ein Privileg Entdeckungen zu machen und zu teilen, flexibel zu arbeiten und sein Projekt selbst zu gestalten, auf Expeditionen zu gehen, wilde Tiere und Naturgewalten zu erleben, sich auf Konferenzen mit seinesgleichen auszutauschen, Wissen zu (er)schaffen.
3/7 Aber vermutlich habt ihr schon den vielen befristeten Arbeitsverträgen, unzählige Überstunden und Existenzängsten gehört, die spätestens seit #IchBinHanna in die Öffentlichkeit getragen werden.

Il problema di #BrainDrain italiano in 2 grafici (ht @Tagliapietra_S). I ricercatori 🇮🇹 sono i secondi più premiati con grants ERC, ma meno del 40% dei vincitori è di stanza in università 🇮🇹. Di questi temi abbiamo scritto con @APRForum e @Tortugaecon qui media.algebris.com/algebris_polic…
🇮🇹 storicamente ha una bassa % di popolazione con istruzione terziaria, e in particolare sotto-produce capitale umano nelle aree che guideranno crescita e sviluppo in futuro (e.g. STEMs ICT). Ciononostante spendiamo solo ~0.3% PIL su istruzione terziaria
Inoltre, in Italia fare l'università "non paga": dati OCSE mostrano che il tasso di rendimento interno dell'investimento in istruzione terziaria in 🇮🇹 è molto basso. Per questo indicatore siamo penultimo nell'OCSE (appena davanti alla Turchia)...

We’re always quick to hail the feats of Diaspora Nigerians like @KayceeMaduYEG , the new AG of Canada’s Alberta region. But @NGRPresident , @NigeriaGov and state governments should do more to attract brilliant Nigerians abroad back home to build our country instead of others.
China, India, Israel have used a Diaspora engagement strategy to develop their country. They know human capital is the secret of development. But we “donate” ours to others by omission or commission when conditions at home are so difficult for people outside the political elite.
Every Nigerian is entitled to make an honest living, at home, or abroad if the opportunity does not exist at home. This is why our youth are leaving in droves for Canada and other countries. The developed countries are replete with whizkid Nigerian doctors but we have no real

Universities and colleges across the US should implement procedures immediately to allow international students to attend classes in person. Permit international students to attend class in person on campus on a limited basis to avoid #ICE’s “fully remote” deportation rule.
Professors may still teach remotely, and US students may still attend remotely, avoiding large student gatherings in response to #COVID. International student likely don’t need to attend every class in person, meaning in-person gatherings would still be less frequent.
Concurrently, a challenge to ICE’s rule under the #APA and related statute must be undertaken by interested parties to abolish this rule and protect these student populations.

Boris Johnson et al are responsible for having wasted the last three years on the massive folly of brexit. Would a child be on the floor if the country’s energy and money had been put into solving problems instead? /start

They told you they would have more money for the NHS. They lied then, they are lying now. We will continue haemorrhaging money on stupid brexit unicorns, negotiating them, duplicating what we already have, chasing a fantasy and losing our standing in the world! #stopbrexit
At the same time we will lose trade and growth and we will lose people, lots of people, expert people, smart people, caring people, interesting people, and be left with uncaring self interested power hungry brexit politico bots in power. #VoteNotTory #Braindrain
