Emotional Sabine Hossenfelder talks about her experiences in academia.

[2PhiloVoid]

I think many academics in all fields do, at least in the earliest stages. Postdocs are often kind of an audition for a faculty position. If one isn't offered to you, you have to go somewhere else.

Assistant professor is often code for "I teach all the undergrads while the full professors carry out their research."

... yay.

 

[Estrid]

Post docs positions seem to be project based, often. And as professors, many university departments are too small to allow for active channels of professional advancement, and so you advance by taking opportunities that crop up in other institutions. Thats what I observe from the outside anyway.

The " other institutions" thing has nuch to
do with avoiding intellectual inbreeding.

A concept that churches shun, to their
discredit.

 

[Estrid]

If you are contracted you are fair game.
I've known of contract engineers who ended up working on projects lasting for years yet were never offered permanent positions as the company refused to pay for benefits such as holiday pay and sick leave.

I can only go by what stated in the video the men were offered the jobs but Sabine was forced to apply for a scholarship.

I've not least wish to be a man, but
I wish they could try being in our shoes
long enough to understand how odious
men can be

The "other institutions" thing has much to do with avoiding intellectual inbreeding.

You mean like one scientific discipline marrying another?

Like, for instance, an astronomer marrying a biologist?

A concept that churches shun, to their discredit.

2 John 10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:

What you call "discredit," we call "obedience."

If you were asked to leave our church, because you were spouting evolution nonsense and deep time, would you shake off the dust of your clipboard as a testimony against us?

 

[AV1611VET]

I've not least wish to be a man, but I wish they could try being in our shoes.

"Men" do wear women's shoes.

... long enough to understand how odious men can be.

Yes.

That's pretty odious.

 

[durangodawood]

You mean like one scientific discipline marrying another?

Like, for instance, an astronomer marrying a biologist?

They might make extraterrestrial life.

We are not all that bad and have a legitimate gripe against women only scholarships.

 

[Estrid]

We are not all that bad and have a legitimate gripe against women only scholarships.

Of course not all.

But if, you know, most dogs bite you get
to generalizing.
