the time says it all, lower caps on top: it's application time. i'm tired. why do new application portals have to be so fiddly and ask (again) for every kind of detail via scroll-down menu? and then, sure, random failures, because impossible-to-have metadata is missing. that's digital waste. dear d. graeber, you are missed.

I head the CAS Texten at ZHAW. Yesterday we awarded the certificates and celebrated. It’s not unusual, that some participants become friends or start doing business together somehow. It’s also not unusual that people have a different job in the end. But the last cohort was special:
2 out of 11 lost their job, 1 quit, another is thinking about quitting

I have been writing emails, reports proposals for what feels like weeks. I am extremely proud of my very excellent, productive and clever team who are achieving such brilliant science.
I am also tired would like to do some science again soon. 😮‍💨
Also, how can there *still* be >1600 emails in my inbox?

3 hours work this morning = 1 email

Sometimes, you accidentally find something you once wrote and think "actually, that was pretty good advice, I should follow my own principles more".
So here's an old one from the blog about surviving and (maybe) thriving in #science and #research more generally
