Meine (geplant) fast 10 ständige Reise von Salzburg nach Vechta beginnt. 3 x Umsteigen heißt, es bleibt bis zum Schluss spannend.
In Vechta werde ich im Rahmen der International Week der Universität über die Rolle der Wissenschaft im Zeitalter der Polikrisen und über Geschichte auf Social Media diskutieren. Ich freue mich! (1/)

14 things our PhD supervisors got right and why it mattered

PhD students reflect on how their supervisors made a meaningful difference — from quiet acts of kindness to career-shaping guidance.

What predicts a successful scientific career? According to a massive bibliometric analysis, one of the strongest signals is simply publishing consistently early on. But the study also highlights the growing role of collaboration networks.
