A precariedade dos investigadores em Portugal: da excelência à dependência
A precariedade sempre foi uma ferramenta usada pelo capital para transformar os trabalhadores em variáveis de ajustamento. A singularidade do sistema científico português está na dimensão do fenómeno.

The misleading headlines go back to a misleading press release...
There are misleading headlines claiming „Greenland melting 100x faster“. But the study only concerns melt rates at vertical ice cliffs in contact with sea water. It has nothing to do with overall ice loss from Greenland, mostly via surface melt & calving. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

People think peer review has been with us for centuries. Not really! Scientific publishing was always a hodgepodge and most outlets were nothing like our current system. Pre-publication peer review only became common in the 1960s. lps.library.cmu.edu/ETHOS/article/…

I’m miserable when they drag me for a year but I feel like I failed somehow when they go easy on me. All the halmarks of an abusive relationship.
