"Lomailijat ihmettelevät laajoja metsähakkuita – puuta kaadetaan nyt lähes ennätystahtia".
yle.fi/a/74-20172571
Jutussa mainitaan hakkuiden talouden ja ilmastotoimien välinen ongelma, mutta ei korkeiden hakkuumäärien haittaa luonnon monimuotoisuudelle. Jälkimmäinen unohtuu liian usein.
Ukrainalle ilmapuolustusjärjestelmiä nyt.
Venäjälle veret seisauttavia pakotteita nyt.
”Your application was ranked 1st of all the 43 Academy Project Funding 2025 applications reviewed in this panel. Only applications with the final rating of 5 or 6 are ranked."
Let me just say that after 25 negative (+1 positive) decisions from the Research Council of 🇫🇮, this feels damn good 🥳💰
Oslossa pitkän työviikon päätteeksi.
Kuuntelen terassilta Ukrainan kansallislaulua. Terassi on sama, jolta myös rauhanNobelin voittajat vilkuttavat kansalle.
”This war hasn’t stopped for a single day” kaikuu aukiolla.
Ollapa jossain Nobelistiehdokas, joka tämän ratkaisisi. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

Tatu presents his work on using Flickr for geographical analyses and whether it is actually a good idea after all.

Olen ikäni retkeillyt Keskuspuistossa. Silti aina on ollut sama: vähänkin vieraammalla paikalla meinaa eksyä, eivätkä opasteet ole auttaneet yhtään.
Nyt juoksin pitkästä aikaa lenkin koko Keskuspuiston halki.
Ja voi että on upeat ”uudet” opasteet! Helppoa menoa! 🤩
Kiitos @hel.fi ❤️🙏

No kyllä! Olisi tärkeää, että visioita rohjettaisiin jakaa, ja myös puolueiden toimesta.
Mikä oikein on se mielikuva hyvästä tulevaisuudesta, jota kohti kilvoittelemme?

Tässä tekstissä pohdiskeltiin Riku Reunamäen kanssa joitakin akateemisen uran kulkuun liittyviä juttuja, vaikkei ihan suoraa tuota mistä aloitit.
Ehkä kiinnostaa kuitenkin, jos tällaisia pohdit!

Varmaan sekä ulkoinen & sisäinen paine. Mutta jos alkuperäinen kysymyksesi pohti lehtoria vs tenure proffaa, niin lehtorin tehdessä tutkimusta ja saadessa ulkopuolista rahaa, kyse on positiivisesta ekstrasta (vau!). Proffalle suhtautuminen: Miksei enemmän tuotoksia? Mutta proffuudessa muita plussia!
07.04.2025 09:39 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Tämä tuntuu vaihtelevan paljon yliopistoittain ja ihan sopimuksenkin mukaan. Kokemusta on kaikista mainituista hommista ja ajattelen, että tenurella on huomattavasti enemmän neuvotteluvaraa kuin lehtorilla, mutta neuvotella tod. näk. täytyy/kannattaa. Monenlaista painetta on kyllä muuten enemmän.

“Technology might well be the thing that pushes us over the edge. But it could also, if we play our cards right, allow us to exit our era of polycrisis. But that won’t happen on its own. The path towards better technology – tech for the 99% – can only be achieved through a politics of the 99%.“
