Scientiae

Hello! Just a reminder of the call for posts for the July Scientiae Carnival, on the theme of 'Fantasy Institute' (or of course any other relevant topic).

The academic blogosphere is often resounding with complaints about the brokenness of the system, and discussions of the challenges and sometimes outright hostility faced in building a scientific career. This carnival is a chance to make some positive suggestions of how we might make things better.

Why not take some time this weekend to come up with some suggestions? Silly, extreme or serious, fantasy institute can incorporate them all (personally, I favour an ice-cream fridge and a "no-assholes" hiring policy...). I look forward to hearing your brilliant ideas!
