Inside Palantir, people are finally waking up to the fact that they might actually be the bad guys Great reporting once again from @makenakelly.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/palant...

I’ve been wondering about conference norms. When I can’t attend an invited talk, I offer to send my postdoc who led the relevant work; but this is basically never accepted by organisers. When I organize meetings, I’m more than happy for postdocs to step in.

I am honnestly a bit worried by the latest fuss about qed (the IA driven review). While the results are indeed quite impressive (it is very good at listing the claim and finding potential improvement), I don't quite see how this will eventually reduce the reviewing burden or help us

Thank you! I had a great time, and even found my way around the building by late afternoon @biozentrum.unibas.ch :)- EB

Is there any data from academia illustrating how short deadlines for things like awards or funding opportunities disadvantage people from groups who tend to take on or are assigned more thankless labor (women), and advantage those who focus more on the work that benefits them (men)?

The Crick is looking for new junior group leaders! Any postdocs or early career researchers wanting to be our colleagues should apply 👍
