Stranded in a K-Pop restaurant with Heiko Paulheim, talking about Korean Pop music, Death Metal and 1980s musical icons. #ISWC2025 in Nara, Japan.

Good Morning #ISWC2025! Best way to start a conference day with a morning run in the park!

It's only shortly past 8 in the morning, but I need to #vent.
I just overheard a new #tenure track assistant #professor talk about how they got there.
In a nutshell, they haven't left the department since their master studies and stumbled into the tenure process by accident.
I am (kinda) happy for them, but I am also so incredibly fucking jealous!
I have switched not only university but country after every degree/job, so by now I live in country number 5 since starting by studies.
The longest I've been in the same country was during my #PhD plus pandemic and unemployment for over a year.
Especially older #academics don't seem to understand this, because whenever I mention any of this I encounter completely blank stares. Note, I'm in a department where most senior staff is local and celebrating 15-35 years at the same employer.
I'm in my mid-30, I don't want to move every few years when my temporary contract ends.
I want to be able to plan more than 1-2 years at a time.
I absolutely love doing #research, but I hate so many aspects of #academic culture or what has been normalized over the years for #AcademicLife.
I plan on staying in #academia despite of it.
#Rant over, time to calm down and sip my tea.

I was yesterday's years old when I learned that applying for and accessing #HPC infrastructure directly via the #EU ( #EuroHPC_JU ) is, at least on paper, much easier than going via the national resources in #Denmark.
It's great, but figuring that out earlier could have saved me easily 3 months of writing emails and waiting.
