Why do we need to keep working on improving the working conditions in academia? nature.com/articles/s4156…

We'll be kicking off our third season a week today with a keynote from Barbara Webb! She'll be speaking on central place foraging: how insects anchor spatial information. Further details can be found here: future-of-foraging-seminars.github.io/episodes/ep3-1…

Für eine umfassende Reform des WissZeitVG. In unserer gemeinsamen Stellungnahme wollen wir (@NGA_Wiss @gew_bund Ver.piss.di @bukof_ freier zusammenschluss von student*innenschaften uvm) noch einmal darauf aufmerksam machen, was es braucht, um das WissZeitVG umfassend zum Positiven zu verändern. respect-science.org/fuer-eine-umfa…

Wir wollen sichere und würdige Arbeitsbedingungen, für die Beschäftigten genauso wie für die Qualität und Zukunftsfähigkeit von Lehre, Studium und Forschung. Das @BMBF_Bund kann und muss die gesetzlichen Bedingungen dafür liefern!

“Gute Wissenschaftliche Praxis braucht verlässliche Arbeitsbedingungen.“ (WissZeitVG Z. 661-669) We agree, but the current changes proposed by the BMBF are not solving the issues of unfair payments, limited contract times and the resulting power abuse.

Doctoral researchers need clear perspectives! Therefore we signed this statement about the #WissZeitVG as part of the N² - Network of Networks together with @NGA_Wiss Max Planck PhDnet Leibniz PhD Network and many others. x.com/NGA_Wiss/statu…

Yesterday @BMBF_bund announced their plans for the new #WissZeitVG in the form of an FAQ (available only in German 😿 ). If you as many others are asking yourself what this is about and why the #ichbinhanna bubble is upset again, here is what we understood from it: 1/10

Last day of #AktionswocheWissenschaft and I look back on two great online events this week hosted by N² - Network of Networks for doctoral researchers, who are represented by Helmholtz Juniors, Max Planck PhDnet, Leibniz PhD Network among others. #IchBinHanna #ichbinreyhan #WissZeitVG

Mit Betroffene aus allen Karriere Stufen wurde geredet, und da ich gerade Helmholtz Juniors spokesperson bin habe ich noch ein paar Ergänzungen. Denn nicht alle Zweifel haben es aufs Papier geschafft. Und wir wollen wirklich ein leistungsstarkes und freies Wissenschaftssystem!

Und wenn die Leitplanken erst mal fest stehen bauen wir dazwischen hoffentlich einen schönen, sicheren und nachhaltigen Fahrradweg für #IchBinHanna #IchBinReyhan 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️🚴

Starting our midterm meeting in Berlin! Where we'll discuss multiple aspects of #phdlife and #WorkingCondituons. #HelmholtzJuniors #N2PhDNet Looking forward to successful working sessions!!

First successful and productive day of our midterm meeting! We took part in a workshop to "strengthen our strengths". With it we'll be to keep working on improving the different aspects of #phdlife in the #Helmholtz Centers #N2PhDNet #HelmholtzJuniors

Knowing that the stipend holders are facing a lot of drawbacks, after all, this might not be the worst decision for them. Maybe this will be the first step in meeting one of the N² - Network of Networks pillars?

Enough is enough, @BMBF_Bund! As representatives of N2 we signed a petition asking for a true reform of the #WissZeitVG. Please, support us in the fight for a sustainable academic environment: rb.gy/998ho English version: rb.gy/9rnfu #NotMyWisszeitVG
