Great video by Sabine Hossenfelder on what's wrong with academia:

@RonaldVisser @academicchatter totally agree that it is a problem that being unlucky to end up in a toxic department does not make the existence of the toxic department OK.

by the way, now that I work in Germany I learned that in Germany this department was widely known as being toxic at that time already, so there were also mentoring issues in the sense that she was not warned what she was getting into. Very sad.

So sad! I know all too well that some people can create toxic environments and that you are not always warned beforehand... I think that she correctly identifies some causes on her video. I hope the future of academia will be more open and more supportive and less a competitive rat race...
