Nach 14 Jahren fällt man den Entschluss, Academia zu verlassen, nicht mal eben so -- trotz all unserer Kritik ➡️ #IchBinHanna Warum ich dazu nicht bloß die Erkenntnis brauchte, was ich verliere, wenn ich bleibe, sondern auch eine Idee davon, was ich gewinne, wenn ich gehe: Heute in #ArbeitInDerWiss!

The Harvard Computers standing in front of Building C at the Harvard College Observatory, 13 May 1913. Photograph of the Harvard Computers, a group of women who worked under Edward Charles Pickering at the Harvard College Observatory. The photograph was taken on 13 May 1913 in front of Building C, which was then the newest building at the Observatory. The image was discovered in an album which had once belonged to Annie Jump Cannon. Image courtesy of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.

“Cease normalising AI hype (…) The technologies do not have the advertised capacities & their adoption puts students and academics at risk of violating ethical, legal, scholarly, and scientific standards of reliability, sustainability, & safety.” openletter.earth/open-letter-... cc @olivia.science
> consider the case of computer scientist Geoffrey Hinton’s 2016 declaration that “we should stop training radiologists now” Since then, extensive research has shown this to have been premature, to say the least
Titelfolie zum interaktiven Dashboard des EpidBull. Auf blauem Hintergrund steht: „Jetzt neu: Interaktives Dashboard zum EpidBull“. Darunter der Hinweis, dass meldepflichtige Infektionskrankheiten im Dashboard mit Inzidenzen, Fallzahlen und Zeitverläufen auf einen Blick dargestellt werden. Im unteren Bildbereich sind stilisierte Monitore mit Diagrammen und eine große Lupe zu sehen. Unten steht „Robert Koch-Institut“.
Das neue #EpidBull-Dashboard macht die Statistik zu meldepflichtigen Infektionskrankheiten anschaulicher.
ℹ️ Es wurden zusätzlich sieben weitere Krankheiten aufgenommen, darunter Cholera und Gelbfieber.
Die Daten werden wöchentlich aktualisiert:

"Für mich ist das nichts Neues!" - Das ist der entscheidende Satz. Und die Veränderung ist, dass das heute endlich auffällt. Nämlich vor allem den Sportjournalistinnen, die diese Situation ALLE kennen. Und jetzt darauf hinweisen, dass da was nicht stimmen kann. Denn vielen Männern fällts nicht auf.
Graphic layout featuring a dark blue header with the “HMS – Her Maths Story” logo at the top. Centered below is a black panel displaying a gold tree made of numbers, mathematical symbols (including π), and teal flowers, with the word “Mathemagica” in gold beneath it. The lower section has a light textured background with the title “The Magic in the Numbers: The Story of Mathemagica” and the byline “By Shreya Roychoudhury.”
Check out our latest blog post by Shreya Roychoudhury, the founder of Mathemagica (Instagram: @math.emagica): “I am an engineer, a founder, and a woman who refuses to be subtracted from the equation.”

[Admin] Liebe alle, @realscientists.de macht eine kleine Pause. In der Zwischenzeit suchen wir immer neue Wissenschaftler*innen, die eine Woche lang unseren Account übernehmen möchten. Wenn ihr Interesse habt, meldet euch unter: dasistsciencetwitter@gmail.com.
Portrait of Mikaela Iacobelli, an associate professor, smiling at the camera. She has shoulder-length light brown hair and is wearing small stud earrings and a navy blue top. The background behind her is a soft light blue. The overall graphic features a slate-blue backdrop with the “HMS – Her Maths Story” logo centered at the top. Her headshot is framed in the middle, and below it, on a torn-paper style white overlay, her name “Mikaela Iacobelli” appears in large black text, with “Associate Professor” written underneath in smaller capital letters.
“(...) what I like most about mathematics: there is room for many different trajectories, as long as you keep following questions that genuinely interest you.” - Mikaela Iacobelli

If you’ve never heard of Abigail Thorn before, I’m so excited that I get to tell you about her. She’s a brilliant and talented woman who gives the world incredible videos about important topics. Some say this is her magnum opus, but everything she makes is so good I can’t pick a single favorite
A first musical output of my research project on the reconstruction of degraded medieval sheet music, combining advanced imaging and processing in collaboration with expert musicologists and singers.

This was a fun piece to write! I learnt quite a bit about the evolution of #math symbols while working on it. Thank you Alex Bellos, Amir Alexander, Kate Kitagawa, Raul Rojas & @sarah-hart.bsky.social for the nice conversations.

Re: the quote post …
I am a scientist, I don’t use products that generate text (“suggestions”) for me, like Grammerly, ChatGPT, Claude, etc. and I think none of these products should be anywhere near academic writing. It is not as hard as you want to make it seem. We can write our own texts.

Danke, dass ich aussteige, habe ich ja schon gelegentlich kundgetan. Dazu gibt es einige Ideen (über die ich demnächst mal mehr schreiben werde). Ich will nur einfach darauf hinweisen, dass die Kosten für eine akademische Karriere wirklich in keinem Verhältnis zum Ertrag stehen. #IchBinHanna

We must create safe, supportive environments where women and girls can thrive, and develop strategies to dismantle the structural barriers that hinder gender equality in science. Real change goes beyond inspiration, it requires a transformation

100 % agree, especially for #firstgen students support networks & mentoring programmes can make a huge difference. 🤍
Sebastian Kurz dies, Sebastian Kurz das. Wenn einer weiß, wie er sich ins mediale Rampenlicht rückt, dann der in Schimpf und Schande zurückgetretene Altkanzler.
In der "Politikpension" umgibt er sich mit dem Who-is-who des Tech-Faschismus.
