Y antes de que alguien me diga que el principio de ordinalidad solo debe asegurarse después de ajustar por población, tres respuestas: 1.Cómo se calcula la población ajustada no es obvio. ¿Un 10% de ajuste por dispersión es poco, mucho o lo justo? 2. No me costaría nada construir un ejemplo en el que, para cualquier criterio de ajuste, se viole la ordinalidad. Simplemente sería más complicado de colgar en X. 3. Si empezamos a ajustar por todo, acabamos básicamente con un sistema que no respeta la ordinalidad salvo en el nombre. Lo que sí respeta es una idea de equidad, a la que obviamente nunca me he opuesto. Nadie defiende que territorios con situaciones similares reciban tratamientos distintos. Seamos sinceros: todo esto de la ordinalidad es un invento de los nacionalistas para mejorar su financiación. Si se le hubiese ocurrido a Isabel Díaz Ayuso, estar a favor de la ordinalidad sería hoy el mayor pecado imaginable en España. El sistema actual no es perfecto y tiene mucho que mejorar, pero no perdamos el tiempo hablando de ordinalidad.










What a PhD Really Means: Beyond the Thesis Many people think a PhD is only about writing a long thesis or conducting advanced research. But the truth is much broader. A PhD is not just a degree. It is a full training ground where you learn many skills at the same time. A PhD student does not wear one hat. They wear many. 1. A PhD turns you into a writer. You write reports, articles, proposals, and presentations. You learn to express complex ideas in simple words. You also revise constantly, which teaches patience and discipline. 2. You become a critical thinker. You question everything. You learn to check assumptions, evaluate methods, and identify gaps in knowledge. This habit stays with you for life. 3. You also become an analyst. Whether you work with numbers, texts, images, or experiments, analysis helps you see patterns and draw conclusions. This skill is valuable in both academia and industry. 4. A PhD forces you to be a problem solver. Research is full of challenges. Experiments fail. Data gets messy. Deadlines come fast. You learn to think creatively and find solutions. 5. You slowly turn into a project manager. You plan your time, organise tasks, track progress, and manage long-term goals. You balance multiple responsibilities at once. 6. You grow as a researcher. You learn how to read papers, design studies, collect data, and interpret results. You understand what good evidence looks like. 7. You also become a deadline juggler. You handle coursework, supervisor meetings, research work, writing tasks, conferences, and personal life. You learn how to prioritise and keep going even when it is difficult. 8. Most importantly, you become a survivor. A PhD is mentally demanding. Some days you feel confident; other days, confused or stuck. You learn resilience, courage, and emotional strength. 9. Finally, you become a communicator. You speak at conferences, present ideas to your supervisor, and discuss results with peers. You explain your work to people inside and outside your field. Every day in a PhD is different. Some days you read. Some days you fix problems in the lab. Some days you write all day. Some days nothing works. But through it all, you keep learning, adapting, and finding your path forward. See the infographic for best summary: a PhD is like a multi-tool. It equips you with many abilities that go far beyond the thesis. The truth is simple: A PhD is less about knowing everything and more about learning how to figure things out. It is about growth, resilience, and becoming someone who can handle complexity and uncertainty with confidence. That is the real definition of a PhD. So, go for it. It is worth it.
