Spring in northern Sweden, when you can see the sun rising if you look northeast and the northern lights if you look southeast.

#AcademicAdvice : If you are serious about a job application, please submit all the required files and, importantly, do not submit a research statement written ENTIRELY with ChatGPT. It is VERY obvious and you will only annoy the PI.

While other countries make substancial investments in attracting talent and renovating their research and higher education institutions, the Spanish solution is: retirement age 70+ and hiring 3400 “helper” professors (basically postdocs with teaching duties) @ 45.000€/year each.

🎓 Solo una de cada cuatro investigadoras ostenta el puesto de catedrática de universidad.

Spring, finally! The bikes are already sprouting.

I joined a Facebook group hoping to find postdoc applicants outside my usual plant biology network. Instead, I've found a surprising trade in paper authorship spots. Another indication that having lots of publications doesn't always mean one's a great scientist #AcademicChatter

Sin quitar mérito a los premiados, todos merecidos👏🏻

Eso si, volvemos a la foto que representan nuestros sesgos de género. De las 10 modalidades de Premios Nacionales de Investigación senior▶️ CERO mujeres 🥺

En la categoría de jóvenes si estamos…

How have #cell wall integrity mechanisms evolved across various photosythentic organisms🪴🌳?

The is the question that will be explored in project no 6 which will be supervised by Laura Bacete from Umeå Plant Science Centre (UPSC) & Christiane Funk from the Department of Chemistry Umeå University.

🌱📣 We are pleased to host a new collection titled, 'The Dynamic Plant Cell Wall'!

Indeed a great opportunity, not only for applying to our project but also for project n.2 led by Robert group ! And more good news, I’ll have another postdoc opening in the topic to announce soon, so interested candidates can contact me directly #PostdocJob #PlantScience

Published in journals and shaped a CV based on experiences that should raise concerns for a team leader – working excessively, facing burnout, and fostering a competitive atmosphere… So many times I think Academia is broken!

I just published: What’s a toxic environment for a PhD student?

Being aware of potential red flags when selecting a host lab is crucial. Here are some issues I’ve witnessed over the years. #phdchat #AcademicChatter
