Sabine describes commodified research, not merit but profit. Is this even science?
Maybe mainstream economists’ ideas of how to run everything is BAD. Is science served by universities converted into paper generating factories based on graduate slave labor?
And they think 4c warming is inconsequential to humanity.
@GhostOnTheHalfShell@academicchatter@academicsunite@pluralistic I knew Sabine from a mid-naughts science blogging era in our lives on the same platform. We are of similar ages & astonishingly similar experiences. I'm glad she posted this reality & I confirm it in my own life except I did stay academia-adjacent with a tenured research position & now group leader. It's not better for all of having "succeeded". Her testimony is accurate as is the rest of what she conveys. Thanks for linking!
@GhostOnTheHalfShell@academicchatter@academicsunite Absolutely the same process as with Boeing. And I confirm, same at stake in hospitals and health care setting overall. Even here in relatively social service-oriented France, these dynamics are underway and there is massive brain drain from public to private & from private to equity ownership. Labor laws slowing but not staunching the hemorrhage. Soon there will only be admins left to set broken arms in the ER.
