Writing again for the first time in a while - nothing like workshops with pre-circulated papers to get things done! Looking forward to the @costprogramme.bsky.social Histories of Healthcare workshop, sorry I can’t be there in person to discuss first person accounts in the history of healthcare

Im a historian of public health with a degree in public health. I also do know many many physicians who write "histories" of their fields/diseases without ever setting foot in an archive, or ever picking up a methods or historiography paper, and who "diagnose" historical figures with epilepsy, etc

BREAKING: Wow, es bewegt sich etwas. Der Osten steht gerade als erstes auf und läuft #SturmgegenMerz. Proteste in Leipzig (Video hier), Dresden, in Berlin wurde sogar gerade eine CDU-Parteizentrale besetzt! Die demokratische Gesellschaft will nicht tatenlos zusehen bei ihrer Beerdigung. 💪

Winning an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship is a huge vote of confidence in the career of a freshly-minted researcher, and right now an entire cohort of people with distinction are apparently waiting to find out when they'll get their next paycheck as the month ends

Academic jobs are something else— “As leader of the Fellowship of the Ring, you will be responsible for the formation, outfitting, and guidance of a diverse team with the end goal of casting the one ring into the fires of Mount Doom. This is a part-time role paid at .06 FTE”

The narrowing of the post-doc/who counts as ECR window overlaps with the years our careers were derailed by COVID. How was I expected to come up with a postdoc idea while alone through lockdowns, redoing all work plans that were ruined by the pandemic, burned out, then sick?

Any idea when we would expect MSCA feedback for the 2025 postdoc round? The website is still pretty vague but I’m losing patience #AcademicSky

It's Holocaust Memorial Day. And I'm tired. The great scholar John K. Roth asked "How do we teach the Holocauast in THIS time?" And the answer is very much to put the present in the context of the past. The far-right is resurgent and trying to obscure that past. #HMD2025

I wonder how much of that 40% feel like they've failed, when they absolutely haven't because a vast majority of career advice is still coming from academics that "made it".

In my case it's: So, I have a new book out. It's on the Nazis. No, the historical ones.

Do academics have a section in their CV of chapters/articles that have just never been published for various reasons? Or does that look odd? #AcademicSky #IrishResearch #Historians

Art should be funded like science. To properly fund art, you fund failure. Funding failure will give you occasional excellence. Creating any art with the aim of it being popular enough to make money, will give you consistent mediocrity. Arists need funding to play and fail because that's the process

I wonder how long ECRs can be expected to contribute to collected volumes, workshops etc without institutional support before the whole system breaks? My January is all page proofs, research visits, papers, and applications, but I’m not paid for any of it.
