job alert. 🧪👩‍🔬🌍🌐🌱🐞🦠🦔

Somewhere along the way, work starts to feel… different.
Lighter. Clearer. More alive.

This is for you if:
• You used to love your work and want that back
• You feel stuck, avoidant, or disconnected
• You’re curious what happens if you stop forcing it

Bring the project you’ve been circling: the idea-that-won’t-leave-you-alone.

We’ll spend a week:
• Working in deep, focused blocks
• Noticing resistance (instead of fighting it)
• Cooking, resting, laughing, and thinking together
• Getting surprisingly honest about what we actually care about

Last week we took part in the seminar “Doing Research Differently”, a great opportunity to present the INTP and to discuss research at the margins and possible alternatives to the traditional academic system.
🙏 Many thanks to Ananké and the organizers for this meaningful and much-needed initiative 🧪

A quick reminder that the deadline for this exciting postdoc fellowship is due soon. Come work with us! Support for work in biodiversity, ecology, and conservation with applied connections. Contact me or other Lovejoy faculty if you are interested 🧪🌐🌾

La revue @nature.com dresse le bilan d'un an de politique anti-science depuis le retour de Trump au pouvoir. La série de graphiques animés est éloquente : elle offre un aperçu saisissant de l'ampleur du saccage entrepris, et des tentatives pour y résister www.nature.com/immersive/d4...
