It was slowly but surely really becoming unworkable, and the app was more and more connected with the falling of democratic values and freedom of information in the world.24 Feb 2025 07:17 +0000at://did:plc:rdiosbadfl33ro4e7mozgsvx/app.bsky.feed.post/3livslblivs2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/myrthereuver.bsky.social/post/3liojdnl6os2iI had a great time during my funded research stay at GESIS AND it led to a paper that’s now one of my dissertation chapters! ✨🤩 Fully recommend, Cologne is also a great city to visit!

This means I’ll be saying “no” more. Oh, and I want to improve my Spanish to B1/B2. 😁 Happy holidays! 🎄24 Dec 2024 16:02 +0000at://did:plc:rdiosbadfl33ro4e7mozgsvx/app.bsky.feed.post/3le2szk2fts2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/myrthereuver.bsky.social/post/3lc3b3m4txs26I almost regret teaching my 90-year old grandma how the final weeks of a PhD work bc I just called her to thank her for sending us Christmas snacks, and she kept asking “shouldn’t you be writing? When are you done?” 😂29 Nov 2024 09:24 +0000at://did:plc:rdiosbadfl33ro4e7mozgsvx/app.bsky.feed.post/3lc3b3m4txs26https://bsky.app/profile/myrthereuver.bsky.social/post/3lboycnwdms2hHot take: Working another weekend this semester, I am left wondering: Why does the #NLProc publication process have so much artificial urgency baked into it? Requiring responses within 24h, emergency reviewers, everything urgent. Like, why? Slow science can also be a community goal.24 Nov 2024 12:15 +0000at://did:plc:rdiosbadfl33ro4e7mozgsvx/app.bsky.feed.post/3lboycnwdms2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/myrthereuver.bsky.social/post/3lbexn3bze225Nice to see we’re in #NLProc finally all moving somewhere else! 😁 At the start of my PhD, online connection to other researchers was super valuable. I really hope this remains accessible to PhDs currently starting, whether here or somewhere else!20 Nov 2024 12:36 +0000at://did:plc:rdiosbadfl33ro4e7mozgsvx/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbexn3bze225https://bsky.app/profile/myrthereuver.bsky.social/post/3kk7uhniir227What is it with companies that rejected you for PhD internships but keep emailing you, either with a “become a customer” message or a “rate our recruitment/career service” one? I sincerely doubt this is the best recruitment pool for either message, but maybe I’m wrong? 🤔30 Jan 2024 19:16 +0000at://did:plc:rdiosbadfl33ro4e7mozgsvx/app.bsky.feed.post/3kk7uhniir227
