Trying to decide whether to apply for a job. I could credibly apply for it, but I'm not convinced I'm quite at the core of what they want and I'm not convinced I want to move city for it and applications are a lot of work. On the other hand, properly paid permanent-track jobs are so extremely rare in the humanities that maybe I should roll the dice regardless. I don't know, I'm just feeling anxious about it either way right now.

Dear researchers,
I am sick of #Elsevier and their antics (ridiculous APCs, inaccessible articles, unauthorised data-mininig, etc.) and want to avoid publishing with them as much as possible.

Can you suggest good journals in the following topics / fields (society journals welcome):

1. #microalgae
2. #molecularbiology
3. #crispr
4. #sustainability

#opensource #openaccess #academicresearch #academia

Please #boost so I can reach other academics.

“A new Israeli report warns that the academic boycott of the country’s universities has become so extensive that the damage could be ‘irreversible.’ — It’s as if the world has closed itself off to me, says researcher Moran Zaga.”

Yes, Moran, it’s what happens when you’re committing genocide. There’s an easy fix: stop committing genocide.
