  • Summary

  • First - a big announcement: we’re running another cohort of SciComm STEP next spring! 🥳 Apply here  

    Dealing thoroughly with a system -- enough to rise to power within it -- can prevent us from changing it. 

    How? 

    • The system keeps us too busy. 
    • Or, we get recognized for being able to navigate the system, and thus get asked to do the work of navigating it when we’d actually like to be overhauling it. 
    • And, when we do get a shot at changing it…of course: the system resists change. 

    So, we’re talking today about overcoming all that inertia, handling FOMO when you wanna say no, and, also, reckoning with when you might just want to jump ship. 

    Dig in for yourself: 

    • What would you be building if you weren’t too busy? 
    • And, what would you cut/stop doing to make space to do that building? 

    Thanks for listening! Let’s do some benevolent empire-building! 👑 Connect on BlueSky at @bgmerkle.bsky.social and @vgwschutte.bsky.social.
