@epssnet.bsky.social #EPSS2026 - are we going to the City Hall reception or the alternative reception?
Reminder as #epss2026 notifications are going out - pastries for all regardless of outcome
1. In this industry, rejection is the modal outcome. #epss2026 section convenors had over 2500 submissions, far more than the 3-day event can accommodate. This is a normal situation for major conferences. bsky.app/profile/epss...
Pre-empting @epssnet.bsky.social #epss2026 notifications that are scheduled to go out later this week, thought I'd bump a few things about conferences and acceptances/rejections to put them into perspective (mainly as reminders to myself, but might benefit other early-career folks):
Emerging from early childhood parenting mode to re-enter the conference circuit next year. First stops (hopefully), #EPSS2026 and #ECPG26. Offering childcare is an optimal way to include parents and ease the burden of competing priorities. Any plans, @epssnet.bsky.social and @ecprgender.bsky.social?
As I've heard the idea this week several times
@epssnet.bsky.social #epss2026:
There is no limit of being co-author only on two papers. No need to start strategically deleting names...

My first #ESPA2025 convinced me to get this app. So great catching up with former colleagues and making new connections. A wonderful introduction to the @epsanet.bsky.social @epssnet.bsky.social community. Looking forward to Belfast #EPSS2026 (paper pending, acceptance conditional)
Just joined @epssnet.bsky.social, very happy to support with the membership fee. Looking forward to Belfast 2026! #epss2026
I hope you all had a great #EPSA2025 in Madrid @uc3m_es — we certainly did! @simonchauchard.bsky.social
Outstanding academic exchanges in an equally exceptional social and collegial atmosphere.
See you all in Belfast next year for #EPSS2026!
