Introduction

Hi there! Welcome to my brain dump zone! Here’s where I share my rants and general fuckery and yep, as always- poking bears! I’m trying to make sense of this world, because look at the state we’re in, “pointing broadly at everything around”. Everything here is straight up my own experiences and opinions, representing absolutely no one but myself!! If you feel like chatting, sharing your perspective, or suggesting a topic, I’d love to have a Fika with you.

Rethinking Academic References: Power, Bias, and the Path to Equitable Evaluations

Politics don’t interest you, why? Because you have no interest in changing a world that already suits you. This quote perfectly sums up not only the state of academia but let’s be honest, the state of the world we’re in and explains the general apathy we’re witnessing all around us. Those who benefit most from the existing academic system are often the ones least inclined to challenge it. They are also the same people who “proclaim” science as a pure meritocracy, unbiased, apolitical, and fair.

What's the tea?
