Det finns en otålig förväntning i Europa på att nästa tyska förbundskansler måste göra Europa starkt igen. Frågan är: Hur ska han hinna med det?

Good morning! Looking for suggestions from the #earlymodern hive mind. For my undergrad history seminar I am looking for a good text in 🇩🇪/🇬🇧, broadly related to eating&drinking from 1500 to 1800, to analyse scholarly articles (question/argument, previous research, sources, method, results). Thanks!

small step for mankind, huge leap for deutsche bundesbank:

A friend had a job interview where she had to present her planned PhD project (interesting, original, ambitious). She was met by a panel of five profs from the project. Two minutes into her presentation one prof fell asleep. One of her questions was met with a silly joke and laughs from the panel.

There’s a reason so many academics are dismissive of the Trump/Musk/Vivek types and it’s that we’re all very aware of the Overconfident Bro Who Hasn’t Done the Reading But Still Wants to Lead the Discussion

I just heard some dude claim during the public hearing on the #WissZeitVG in the Federal Parliament that 🇩🇪 is the second most attractive country in the world for international guest researchers. He forgot to mention it's essentially only temporary entry-level research positions that are available.

How international are #science & #highered in #Germany? tl;dr - 14,7% of all academic staff (mostly non-tenured) are international - 7,7% of all professors (mostly tenured) are international A couple of thoughts 🧵

Heute ab 9.30 Uhr ist #WissZeitVG Thema im Bildungsausschuss, könnt Ihr auf der Website des Bundestags live verfolgen. Mal sehen, wie oft dieses Argument heute gebracht wird … #IchBinHanna

Dauerbrenner Verstopfungsargument zum #WissZeitVG: Befristung müsse sein, um zukünftigen Generationen die Chance zu geben, in der Wissenschaft zu arbeiten. Chance hier = Möglichkeit, 12 Jahre prekär beschäftigt zu werden & anschließend rauszufliegen. Klingt gar nicht nach Chance? Genau. #IchBinHanna

Hi everyone! I've connected with so many new people in the past few days that I thought an introduction might be in order. I'm Astrid and I'm an early modernist. I was born and raised in Estonia, but my academic adventures have taken me to a variety of places on both sides of the Atlantic. 1/3
