Fräulein als mögliche Anrede und eine nicht funktionierende Online-Buchung... ich wittere einen omitted confounder😅

Ist die HHU so bibelfest? Trinkfest, sicher – aber bibelfest?

Man kann dir dein Entsetzen über diesen Vorschlag ansehen, noch bevor das Video läuft😉

Danke für deinen Einsatz!

Trump with Musk's son

Die Betreuungssituation wird immer schlimmer, selbst der reichste Mensch der Erde muss auf vollkommen ungeeignetes Personal zurückgreifen...

I'm feeling oddly proud to be part of the sample you're analyzing...
Thanks for your work!

Interesting—shocking?—to see that the political divergence between AfD and others in Germany is bigger than the one in the US between Republicans and Democrats. I did not expect this!

Tuition fees paid for my student job and my library books, at least according to a sticker in them. Although I guess a fair amount of tuition fees were just crowding out taxpayer money that universities otherwise got from the state (though this is more of a gut feeling than based on evidence...)

Ich schwöre auf diese Gummibärchentüten mit den kleinen Tütchen drin … Für die Umwelt nicht ideal, aber man muss nur mit einer Person spielen, die den Gewinn dann teilen kann (erhöht den Anreiz). Und die Drohung, die Tüte ins Sekretariat zu legen, ist auch glaubwürdiger als bei einem Schokoriegel.

Well, it's the foundation's funds, not the personal money of the Board members, but all the same.

I don't reproach them for redirecting funds (although I do think it is short-sighted), but I pointed out the discrepancy to explain why IZA invited nominations for fellows less than four weeks ago.

I agree, many networks are "need to know"-base, this is not ideal...

But I'd say that this is true for merit-based networks as well!

Well, two letters of recommendation are required, and based on these letters and the applicant's CV, a panel then makes a decision.

I'd say it's at least partly merit-based. Put differently: Would achieving a certain number of points in a somewhat arbitrary publication ranking be more merit-based?

Correct me if I'm wrong about the last point...

Here's the problem:

-Great researchers are running IZA (www.iza.org/about-us/org...)

-Great researchers are running the IZA network (www.iza.org/en/network/n...)

-And people with little connection to IZA's research made the decision to discontinue IZA (www.deutsche-post-stiftung.org/en)

This is devastating news and indeed short-sighted! We cannot think of sustainability without considering the future of labor!

Let's hope that the leadership of IZA finds new sources of funding...

Very cool idea!

I just found this paper, maybe you know it already: docs.iza.org/dp17521.pdf
