Here is a reminder for all those on non-permanent or precarious positions within academia: “Remember, in academia there is so much chance involved, even if you work hard, even if you’re good.” #AcademicLuck is a thing. Most of us are in between good and brilliant.

As the holidays draw near, a gentle reminder: my #shortstories #book "Il Karma della Rosa" has been out for a year now on Amazon. 🙂📚 The English translation will be available soon, bringing these stories to an even wider audience. Thank you for your support—it means so much to me! amzn.eu/d/0iptJDJ
