I was exactly looking for the name of that show in English as it is the one that instantly came to my mind when I saw the post. It’s in no small part thanks to this one, and a couple of others (the magic school bus and once upon a time… life) I decided to do a PhD in animal behaviour.

Thanks! I should’ve done that directly, apologies.

Merci ! Je vais contacter urgence Palestine pour voir s’ils ont une pétition/ des trucs en ligne pour mobiliser à une plus large échelle géographique.

Je suis malheureusement trop loin pour me joindre à vous. Est-ce qu’il y a une pétition ou des visuels à faire tourner sur nos réseaux militants pour donner de la visibilité à la situation d’Omar ?

I was actually joining the chat to write that things are not that different in biology. I have a PhD and 7 years of postdocs behind me. Over the years I have :

• been denied a management position because “the team was only men, who wouldn’t listen to me” (spoiler alert, they put an incompetent guy in charge who screwed up massively and I ended up taking over, successfully).
• had a boss who systematically doubted my opinion (while he was not a specialist of the topic) but listened to the very same argument from a male colleague
• had male Masters students who could speak uninterrupted during meetings when I couldn’t
• got denied a tenure position for a guy with the same profile (literally the same topic and same labs) but much less experience than mine (like 5 years younger) This last one broke me, I ended up quitting academia

Thanks for sharing your experience, I’ll keep that in mind!

Omg you’re making me freak out. I had to quit academia a year and a half ago (after 7 years of postdocs) and, after a bad experience in the private sector (techy start up removed who was just plain insane), I’ve been struggling for 10 months to find a new path and a job…and I’m still nowhere near finding something I’m afraid.
