1. เห็นเว็บสำนักงานแล้วก็ขำดี แทบไม่มีการปรับปรุงเลย ตลอด 6 ปีที่ผ่านมา ถึงแม้จะมี คกก. เว็บก็ตาม (see report  https://tinyurl.com/2ccxsquo ) -- รายงานการประชุม “หัวหน้าหน่วยงานห้องปฏิบัติการวิจัย และตัวแทนงานห้องปฏิบัติการวิจัย” ครั้งที่2/2560  2. อยาก mark เป็น timestamp ไว้ก่อนว่าจะมีการเปลี่ยนแปลงอะไรไหม หลังจากที่พรุ่งนี้มีการถ่ายรูปบุคลากรเพื่อเอามาทำเว็บ ซึ่งก่อนหน้านั้นก็ถ่ายไปแล้วประมาณ 1 ปีได้ แต่ไม่มีการเปลี่ยนแปลงอะไรเลย จนต้องมาถ่ายใหม่อีกรอบวันพรุ่งนี้ 5 ก.ค. 2565 https://www.rama.mahidol.ac.th/research/ ต้องกระตุก ถึงจะมีการเปลี่ยแปลง -- ล่าสุด 2022-09-02 As of 2022-10-06 As of 2024-07-23

Ref:  https://www.senate.mahidol.ac.th/index.html   - Some of the students I've seen do not have a clear reason for pursuing graduate studies. Some said they want to kill time and the jobs are very hard to find. Some are asked by their parents to pursue graduate studies without knowing what to do next afterward. The ecosystem to support a life science career path in Thailand is not that great, and it seems like supply and demand are not correlated. Job security is uncertain these days. This increases the prevalence of psychological illnesses.

Ref: https://www.senate.mahidol.ac.th/index.html - In reality, I still observe that young investigators have many documents to deal with. The ecosystem to facilitate research productivity requires a lot of improvement. I am in an academic position but was previously evaluated by supportive staff. My performance is now being evaluated by two support and one academic staff members. I'm unsure if these two support staff members know how to create a conducive environment for research, especially how to facilitate the researcher's ability to produce one paper per year. Once, I used to attend the meeting where we all had to oversee whether the report was misspelled. It was totally nonsense in my opinion, and I proposed reducing this kind of meeting. Academic and support personnel have diverse perspectives on the larger context of research policy. There is no clear vision in each unit, and there are no statistical reports on the academic activities. There was no in-depth analysis of s...

EMBL also showed the statistical report regarding each mission. The report is well-represented and easy to capture the information at a glance. -  I would take this report as a good model to improve the ecosystem that I am working with. The University wants to have a higher rank, but the ecosystem is not actually supporting that direction.
