"Dezentralität ist gefragt. Und das stellt der Föderalismus so sicher." #Föderalismus als Katalysator für Dezentrales und Interoperabilität. So hab ich's bisher noch nicht betrachtet. Danke @andreasamsler für diesen Punkt und für alles! nzz.ch/visuals/bag-datenpann…

Looks like there's a lot of hype on #AcademicTwitter about #altac jobs and switching from academia to UX. I've just jumped from UX to academia so I thought I’d share a few guiding questions that could help you if you're an academic considering if UXR is for you. A thread:

We teamed up with @AnetaPiekut (Sheffield Methods Institute & Project TIER Executive Comm.) and Nicholas Bussberg (Elon University) to publish "An Invitation to Teaching Reproducible Research." Many thanks to @askdrstats for his inspiration & enthusiasm. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

Guys, yesterday Switzerland voted “yes“ in a referendum to increase the retirement age for women and it’s making me feel sick. Is it surprising to anyone that it was the Swiss men voting “yes“ and the women voting “no“?

Test coverage of the {clockify} package for #rstats is now at 85.37%. Can't go any further than that on my current subscription. How about it, @Clockify? Would be great to offer your #rstats users a robustly tested package.

Sehr cool. In der Abstimmungs-App des Kantons Zürich kann man zwischen klassischer Darstellung (links, ungewichtet) und gewichteter Darstellung wählen. 🙌 #abst22

Academic moms, how tired are you of hearing “wow, you’re a superwoman” because you PhD and mom? Like, I’m 100% sure my partner doesn’t get told he’s a superhero by his colleagues because he has kids #phdvoice #AcademicTwitter @Momademia @PhDVoice

First thing I implemented for the @ETH_GHE group. Can’t live without it.
Is it true; people in academia don’t sync their calendars? Like, when you need to arrange a meeting with a colleague it’s a back and forth email conversation until you find an available date/time. Coming from the tech world, I’m in shock. #phdvoice #AcademicTwitter @PhDVoice
