For my University of Warsaw will be the longest employing entity next year, the second one which has ever given me indefinite employment and also the 5th academic employer in my career, I expect the final one, as well. One could count 4 actually, because one was an invited visiting position in France (although with employment) and was never ment for indefinite.

Good question. Myself, I’m not sure if we do. On the other hand, I checked out openalex just yesterday and I seem to hardly exist in academia according to it. So: I do hope that reviewers do refer to regular (tax-payer-paid) databases like Scopus or WoS when they check my track record while reviewing my grant proposal next time 🤷🏻‍♂️

This reply comes a bit late but: I meant the fact that - what I understood - you decided to discredit the only institution (EU) which has any power to stand against fascism (with discussible efficiency, agreed) and instead you prized a state which has always lived off their unique geographical location. I mean (again:-) give them - hypothetically - Russians as neighbors and let us see how „neutral” they can be then. Errgh.

For my permanent position application (an open, competitive call), I had to prepare a three-part (research, teaching and organization) statement, a research plan and a track record list. That was still easy. My colleage in one of W. EU universities had to prepare and run also a 1.5h seminar and a separate, sample teaching lecture for students and also go through two interviews with different brasses. Academia in the Western culture is quite formalised in recruitments.

It isn't because of my need to exert control over the postdoc nor because I wouldn't trust him.

_________________________

Let me begin that my understanding of free will has indeed little to do with physics. Ok, perhaps relations can be drawn in theory, but in practice there is a difference of scale. Eg: our choices can be critical for our lives but are indeed meaningless to the universe whatsoever. On the contrary: the human mind (brains) is so complex that it is probalby (probably = I admit I did not run the numbers) not reproducible with human technology in the forseable future.

Beautiful. I suppose this is the family one. My family does not own such a piece. No wonder, since we come from the common, poor folk who advanced in the society over the past three generations, despite the the catastropies of the war followed by 50-something years of being a russian colony.
On other note, the hand writting is fascinating. When was it written, by who, why and (just curious) what does it say?
