- For Finnish colleagues: this is a good overview of what’s going on right now with American science funding institutions www.science.org/content/blog...
- curing cancer is woke now
- In addition to the Nuclear Block™️ we should have a Break it Up function where when two people get into a fight in our mentions we can prevent them from seeing each other’s posts 😡 🫷😑🫸 🤬
- I WILL pull this car over right now!
- Sad to wake up this morning in Finland and seeing SoCal on fire. Thoughts are with my friends and family in LA area
- Incredible
- Interesting read… IMO more important that we are experiencing consequences of systematic gutting/defunding of science by govt and private orgs. Smaller pie + more seats at the table = more competition and thus potentially incentive to go against moral value system to professionally survive
- I found this paper, written by 10 doctoral students in Stockholm, quite interesting: Creative destruction in academia: a time to reimagine practices in alignment with sustainability values #academia link.springer.com/article/10.1...
- Different but interesting question is what kinds of people and value systems do these conditions select for in academia 20 years in the future? We already know academia is atrophying young talent - young folks who passionately care about the world
- I worry that the academic scientist of the future will just be some kind of middle management tasked with fulfilling bureaucratic deliverables. Makes sense that young folks are turning away from this. It’s certainly not aligned with the professional ideal I had when I was in my phd
- huh i always thought it meant “liberated and tardy”
- trying to convince my son it's pronounced “Bubba Fett”
- a far right Filipino/Finnish juice bar called Juissi Halo-halo
- niche one for the filipino finnish-politics heads out there
[This user deactivated their account]- wtf finland - you love deporting asylum seekers, building border walls, and having literal nazis in your government, but no love for Trump?
- lol I live in Finland and they are literally building a gigantic wall on their eastern border right now
-
View full threadFinnish gov just passed law allowing deportation of foreigners who have been unemployed for 3 months and has seriously considered eliminating “non-emergency” healthcare for non residents
- Trump would love it here!
- Finnish immigration is one of the most restrictive in whole EU. basically all asylum applications are now indefinitely shut down
- little do the russians know that sweden has authorized deployment of a miniaturized finnish defence minister
- My kid made a birthday card for his bud but I thought it was a metal album
- when my tweets land in the feeds and the only ones there to read it are some very online millennials and science shit posters, does it count as outreach for my CV?
- putting the "predatory" back into predatory publishing

- sorry Antti... your project is a cool idea, so I am hopeful for next year. glad to hear that feedback was useful. sometimes it's not...
- New paper out... fun getting to work with some nanopore data !
- Complete genome sequences of 30 bacterial species from a synthetic community journals.asm.org/doi/full/10.... #jcampubs
- SAR86... Sometimes, after a few drinks at ASLO or OSM, you'd hear the old-timers talk about how they had it once... Or that it was lurking in a forgotten dilution to extinction plate on the bench of a long-departed postdoc whose spirits it had crushed...
- lol my son asked me today why I am not a professor yet ☠️
- excited to have played a role in this cool discovery www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
- As a postdoc, I've been strong-armed into "co-authoring" multiple grants with faculty to fund my research, but I can not formally receive credit for these funded grants. I still list them on my CV though...
- New paper in PLOS Biol with @graciellehigino.bsky.social et al.: "Postdoctoral scientists are mentors, and it is time to recognize their work". We argue that ensuring that post-docs receive proper credit for ALL their labour would benefit all academia.
- I wonder if hiring committees and grant panels are allowed to take these "under-the-table funding achievements" into consideration? My guess is probably not, as I still do not have a permanent job
