If you are a researcher based in the #USA and you would like to visit any university in #Denmark you can apply for a sabbatical grant from Villum Foundation.

I would especially like to invite researchers studying power electronics, packaging and similar topics to join our group at Aalborg University. We specialise in medium-voltage and high-power converters.

Hi, academics,
I have a question that is somewhat important for understanding the treatment of some untenured folks at a university.

This question is specifically aimed for academics who are working in a country where they are not citizens: How much, if any, assistance did/does your university provide with your necessary visa requirements? (I was going to do a poll but its probably too fine-grained of answers.)

Please share if relevant!

The new Anti-Autocracy Handbook is timely '“given the unprecedented assault on American #science, #academia, scientists and truth by the Trump administration, Republican Congress, and an increasingly politicized Supreme Court,” said water and climate researcher Peter Gleick."

Proving the need for such a guide, the White House, when asked for a response, investigated the citizenship and donor history of the authors.

In the Humanities, there is a) extreme oversupply on the academic labour market. And b) professors are poorly paid. This means that a) there's huge pressure on a professor to help members of one's local tribe survive, b) jobs are one of the very few resources that a professor controls.

The academia has been creeping in at work, little by little, over the past year. So slowly that I have barely noticed. But I am putting together a bibliography for a lit review and my whole being is screaming "This is academia! WTAF are you doing? I thought we were leaving this!?!?" while simultaneously squealing "Ooooooo, research!"

I'm a tad conflicted.

Das Journal schreibt eben in seinem Newsletter, dass unser Paper den Best Paper Award bekommen hat.

Und weil sie so generös sind, ist der Artikel jetzt 2 Jahre lang kostenlos abrufbar. So nett sind sie, schreiben sie.

Dass ich über 3000 $ Publikationsgebühr gelöhnt habe und dass es ein #OpenAccess Paper ist, haben sie irgendwie vergessen zu erwähnen.

My share of #teaching for this semester is done (at least the lecturing part of it).
An 11 lecture course on all topics of nuclear fusion research, I adopted a 50% share this year after my boss wasn't available to teach this semester.

Was I the best lecturer ever? No.
Do I feel like I was getting better as I went? Slightly.
Do I think it'll be easier/I'll be better if I do it next year as well? Certainly.
