Bear with me: this will be a longish thread. I want to talk about the Map-Territory Relation in #science & why it matters to many topics in public perception of science. It's what I think of when people insist that 'science says there are only two genders'.

PhD students, and academics in general, are not paid enough, especially given the inflation. This is a major problem that is forcing many below the poverty line, and out of academia. To solve this problem, we’ve created a platform where academics can earn more money from their
