The euro banknotes seem to get a new look, and the @ecb.europa.eu has hosted a survey, asking which desing is the preferred one.

I really like the stork on the 50€ banknote.

The term "silence in organizations" describes a pattern of behaviour in which people refrain from speaking up when they have become witnesses, or victims, of misconduct by other members of the organizations that they belong to.

Das Ende meiner Zeit in der Wissenschaft ist absehbar: Ich bin nach wie vor befristet, ohne Entfristungs-Perspektive. Was das mit mir macht? Trauer & Frust sind inzwischen was anderem gewichen: Erleichterung. Denn ich hab es satt, dieses Leben unter Vorbehalt. Heute in #ArbeitInDerWiss! #IchBinHanna
Wissenschaft jetzt, Leben später
Wenn ich an das Leben ohne Wissenschaft denke, das mir bevorsteht, dann spüre ich nun, mit fast 40, kaum noch Frust oder Trauer, sondern die Vorahnung einer tiefen Erleichterung.

New paper on "the practices of wage theft that often surround academic promotions, and specifically, the common requirement that someone must already be working at the level for which they are hoping to be promoted"

BSky author @troyheff.bsky.social

#AcademicSky #HigherEd
Higher education has a strong relationship with wage theft, which has been examined throughout years of research, reports, and government enquiries. This paper examines the practices of wage theft that often surround academic promotions, and specifically, the common requirement that someone must already be working at the level for which they are hoping to be promoted. The work uses Australia’s higher education sector as an example, as Australia’s employment and promotion conditions are similar in many aspects to other higher education sectors. The paper provides an analysis of the promotion expectations to which academics are subjected to understand what tasks academics are expected to complete, and for how long, without being paid, before they can apply for promotion. The paper demonstrates to academics, policymakers, and unions, yet another exploitative practice that must be monitored and removed from the modern university as the sector looks to engage more equitable practices.

New research by my friend and colleague Nico Münster shows that we process objects' perspectives independently of the actual object for action planning! Adding insights not only to the enigmatic question what a feature is but it also comes with cute animal pictures 🐘 Out now in Visual Cognition:
A question of perspective: Perspective as a feature in stimulus-response binding
In action control research, stimulus-response binding and retrieval processes are assumed core mechanisms. Stimulus and response features are integrated into event files when they occur together. T...
