British Laser and X-ray Physicist at the University of Aarhus in Denmark studying dynamics in quantum materialshttps://bsky.app/profile/simonwall.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/simonwall.bsky.social/post/3mbjijupouk2eAn interesting analysis. It leaves out the fact that many grant applications can be recycled/repurposed to some degree. However I completely agree the system needs to change [contains quote post or other embedded content]03 Jan 2026 13:15 +0000at://did:plc:jsaedywlldpw7mroeg2ctbb6/app.bsky.feed.post/3mbjijupouk2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/simonwall.bsky.social/post/3m3acbafmik2pWe have a position for a PhD and postdoc in our group in Denmark.

I stopped using them a while ago, but it's good to have them gone!25 Jan 2025 22:09 +0000at://did:plc:jsaedywlldpw7mroeg2ctbb6/app.bsky.feed.post/3lglwgh336225https://bsky.app/profile/simonwall.bsky.social/post/3lbz2h5z4a22bToday I found out that Science Advances doesn't publish comments on papers. Therefore there is no formal way to raise objections to papers. Shouldn't journals be forced to accept comments on papers they have published?28 Nov 2024 12:20 +0000at://did:plc:jsaedywlldpw7mroeg2ctbb6/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbz2h5z4a22bhttps://bsky.app/profile/simonwall.bsky.social/post/3lbdjh73sd22iSome light reading at my hotel in Berlin. I think I'll just about get through it's 1000+ pages before I check out tomorrow19 Nov 2024 22:49 +0000at://did:plc:jsaedywlldpw7mroeg2ctbb6/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbdjh73sd22i
