#OTD in 1905. Albert Einstein completes his doctoral thesis at the University of Zurich.
Titled "Eine neue Bestimmung der Moleküldimensionen", he calculated the size of sugar molecules in solution and from this a value for the Avogadro constant. It is related to his work on Brownian motion, published in the same year, and supported the atomic hypothesis, which was still controversial among leading physicists at the time.
1905 Einstein approached Kleiner with a thesis on the electrodynamics of
moving bodies. It was rejected because a) the professors who reviewed it didn't
really understand it, and b) it was purely theoretical in nature.
Ich verschenke eine Ausgabe meiner #Dissertation an jemand, der/die auf diesen Post reagiert. In der Diss geht es darum, wie durch Zulassungsverfahren von Schulgeschichtsbüchern der Nachkriegsjahre die Darstellung des #Nationalsozialismus beeinflusst wurde. Ich habe die institutionellen Machtverhältnisse und hegemonialen Denkstile herausgearbeitet und bin bei wesentlichen Akteuren auf ihre NS-Vergangenheit eingegangen.
I see this instance has a nicelong character limit for posts.
I have a Ph.D. in Human Science (2016, Saybrook University), which is about the experience of being human in social contexts. It is the mother of the social sciences but is now, at least in the English speaking world, and at least as far as I can tell, a dead field.
In #kyriarchy, I mostly focus on #classism and #ageism, but since arriving in Pittsburgh, have been confronted with blatant #racism (and yes, many white people here do see it). But #SocialJustice has to be for everybody; to focus on any one identity, to the exclusion of others, is nothing more than to elevate that identity over that of the predominantly wealthy white males who are now in charge.
Human beings have #HumanRights. These rights are not constrained by their governments' failures to ratify certain human rights treaties.
#Borders exist to mark off territory controlled by elites whose competition accounts for most if not all wars and to deny human beings on the "wrong" side of an arbitrary line rights and privileges available on the "right" side. This cannot be justified ethically. I am hostile to #xenophobia
Finally, I am pessimistic about the future of humanity. #COVID19 and the #ClimateCrisis demonstrate our unfitness for survival.

I am working on my dissertation project and decided to create a Debian-based system called Koios for CTI and above all OSINT.
Despite the ambitious mission, I am asking the intel community a big question ... What tools would you like to see? Bear in mind, that at least three tools must be mine ...
I have some ideas, but I am looking for some inputs.

Finished up a blog post on dissertation writing barriers. I talk about getting to the "I hate my dissertation" stage of the PhD, why naming reasons for my "hate" was useful, and ways I've been tricking myself into getting the work done anyway.
It felt good to blog (or do "regular writing") again. Now unfortunately I have to get back to that #dissertation.
If you've personally been through the process of submitting to something like the "WikiJournal of Science" or similar #OpenAccess journal - I'd love to pick your brains!
