Die Unis heften sich die Erfolge ihrer Mitarbeiterinnen bei der Einwerbung von renommierten Projektgeldern zwar gerne auf die Fahnen, doch sind sie nach Auslaufen eines Projekts nur selten bereit, die federführenden Wissenschafterinnen aus eigenem Budget weiter zu beschäftigen. Sobald die Drittmittel aufgebraucht sind, endet typischerweise auch der Dienstvertrag.
@Nicolaz I didn't see an #Introduction post so hi! Really glad to see you here! If you need any tips on using the fedi, I'd be happy to help or point you to links that can get you started easier.
@Nicolaz Hmm. Best 2/3 tips, follow hashtags and groups, not people. use directories like the Trunk, and finally, it's okay to lerk and not reply despite what others tell you! My full guide is here with some apps/user directories, etc. Link at end.
The hashtags I'd recommend are below. My guide has directories to follow.
hashtags are the best way to find new people in addition to the directories I outline in my guide, etc. Below, you can see some communities/groups I like and follow.
I don't generally like KickStarter, because sometimes the people don't ever follow up again after they get the $$. But I'm trusting the Pratchett Estate and @neilhimself and @ColleenDoran on this one. It just started today 8/1 It's almost 2pm EDT and it's already reached it's £25K goal! Congratulations y'all!!
@broximar Unless it's a disaster somehow, Baldur's Gate will likely be carrying me up to the Starfield release. There's also the remaining episodes of the Telltale The Expanse game coming up, too.
The demo eliminated Sea of Stars from my playlist, at least for now. I wasn't impressed by it, especially the combat.
Colleen's previous adaptations of Neil's work have been works of art, and won a lot of well-deserved awards, so I'm really looking forward to this one.
(NB: this adapts the book, not the TV show; related, but not identical.)
There's an early-bird tier available only today, so I recommend giving it a look now…
🏴 📚 Religion and Governance in England’s Emerging Colonial Empire, 1601–1698
“Drawing on research into the Virginia, East India, Massachusetts Bay, Plymouth, New England and Levant Companies, it offers a comparative global assessment of the inextricable links between the formation of English overseas government and various models of religious governance across England’s emerging colonial empire.”
“This work is the first major attempt since the 1970s to challenge the idea that the essential engine of medical (and scientific) change in seventeenth-century Britain emanated from puritanism. It seeks to reaffirm the crucial role of the period of the civil wars and their aftermath in providing the most congenial context for a re-evaluation of traditional attitudes to medicine.”

@BBC_News_Labs We are glad you're here, but a little sad your content is languishing. I hope your low engagement with the fediverse will be considered as you evaluate the success or failure of this experiment. As it is, I get most of my BBC content on fediverse via bird.makeup bots. But it sure would be great to get it direct from social.bbc
@darren hi, this is an account for our news innovation team and we just post when we have new work to highlight or talk about. If all goes well we're hoping to get more accounts going
Hello to our new followers, which, for the one and only time, is everyone...
We'll be verifying our account very soon, but in the meantime, our top level domain should hopefully help confirm our identity, and we've also written about why we're here on Mastodon, what was involved to get here, and the other BBC accounts you can follow.
@BBCRD So awesome! Would be excellent to see (some time in the future) any public over-time stats of the #fediverse from your perspective, ie fediverse growth, countries, platforms, some sort of clusters by "topic" of other servers directly connected to yours, etc! #MakeInternetDistributedAgain : P
