In the German system, the professor is
- supervisor
- employer
- examiner
of "their" PhD students.
Plus, they usually function as gatekeeper to the relevant scientific community.
What can possibly go wrong? 🤔
A relevant property of the German system: few professors.
Only professor can examine students, apply for certain grants, sit on certain committees, ... (with minor exceptions). Privilege, sense of entitlement - and multitasking, which they're not good at, so they delegate many things to juniors.
After Trump´s disgraceful behavior last week, we thought we need to do something to help Ukraine directly. And you can help too…
If one person gives a euro to Ukraine, the result is €1.
If two people give 2 each, it is €4.
If 3,000 give 3,000 each, it is 9 million.
Let’s coordinate, here 👇
and please re-post to spread the word.

Nice idea! Perhaps you can do a "your donation cubed" next?
Each step goes
- x EUR and x^2 people;
- to (x+1) EUR and (x+1)^2 people.
This version is less constrained by people with a giving constraint. If everyone gives 100, you already have 1 million. Each EUR you give has a larger multiplier.

Will repeat this forever, but if there's a US foreign policy program that deserves unambiguous support from a global health/humanitarian/economic/political/every angle you can think of perspective, it's PEPFAR. Sharing the economists letter of support here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... #Econsky
Text of letter available here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SMkdyaeJWOHN4y-DC5RPY1ZGk9B_SIIk5Tv_Yz5zQRw/edit?tab=t.0
I am hearing that PEPFAR programs are still being stalled, and medication appointments cancelled, despite a waiver in place to allow life-saving programs to continue. Thus,
@belindaarch.bsky.social
and I are sharing the letter we wrote, signed by 110 economists, urging its continuation. 1/4
