Suspending all updates until late March 2026

Advancing toward a meaningful long term academic appointment

I will pause all public posts until March 2026. The coming months close a six year stage as professor in training, with roughly three hundred days remaining from today. This period demands full focus on securing a stronger academic position and setting the path toward tenure.

The coming months close a six year stage as professor in training, with roughly three hundred days remaining from today. This period demands full focus on securing a stronger academic position and setting the path toward tenure. The work ahead is substantial and calls for undivided attention on ongoing research and on the responsibilities that define this transition. If all proceeds as planned, communications will resume in March with a clearer horizon and a more stable professional footing.

The contract entering its final phase was awarded through the FPU Formación de Profesorado Universitario program of the Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades in 2020. It is one of the very few national schemes that fund doctoral training in Spain, and the only one designed to prepare future faculty through rigorous academic standards and structured pedagogic formation. This stage coincides with my first year as scientific communications coordinator of our European action, a role that requires sustained work on consortia formation, manuscript development, methodological refinement, advanced skills building and the continued development of the network I founded on a global scale. It also requires sustained effort in the search for a suitable academic appointment.

To meet these obligations, I will channel all outreach through syndicated media rather than this publication. This pause is necessary to concentrate on building the structures the network must rely on, while securing the conditions required for those close to me and for the broader societal aims that guide this work. All support is welcome. Please reach out atnd on the responsibilities that define this transition. If all proceeds as planned, communications will resume in March with a clearer horizon and a more stable professional footing.

The contract reaching its final phase was awarded through the FPU (Formación de Profesorado Universitario) professor in training program of the Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades back in 2020, one of the very few national schemes that finance doctoral training in Spain and the only one conceived to prepare future faculty with rigorous academic standards. As you know, the violence and other harms endured over the years made advancement as difficult as it could be. That was already the context from which I began, long before receiving the award. These months are also required to ensure that due process is pursued to its conclusion, so that justice is finally secured and life can be lived with peace, stability and the conditions needed to prosper. This work is inseparable from the broader goal of helping to end such forms of mistreatment and any related abuses in our societies.

This period coincides with my first year responsibility as scientific communications coordinator of our European Union action, a role that requires sustained work on consortia formation, manuscript development, methodological refinement and continued skills enhancement, to take forward the network myself founded -global stage. It also demands sustained effort in the search for a suitable academic appointment. To meet these obligations, I will channel all outreach through syndicated media rather than this publication. This pause is necessary to focus on building the structures the network must rely on, while securing the conditions required for those close to me and for the broader societal aims that guide this work.
