The exam does not get written in one sitting. It gets written in the three weeks before this one, in forty-minute blocks between office hours, between meetings. Three Mondays.

Just learned that my research on antimicrobial use in aquaculture has made significant contributions to Power and Energy Engineering.

Apparently, my research has made significant contributions to a field I've never worked in.

In Spring, a particle physicist colleague wrote a blog about teaching Claude his voice so that it can take a first pass at editing papers that he is co-author on but were drafted by one of his collaborators, often early career scientists.

I see how it could save time but also our job is to teach

One short email before an exam gives students a practical final check: what is covered, how topics are weighted, which resources they can use, and when grades come back.

It saves repeating the whole syllabus. What else goes in yours? #AcademicSky #HigherEd #AcademicLife

Ever lost an entire afternoon trying to find that one paper where you swore you read a specific quote?

I’m researching the biggest time-sinks in academic workflows and I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Using this morning of a not-teaching day affords time to polish & send a new draft of my book proposal to my literary agent. Then on to #GradingJail, departmental-service duties, & finalizing travel plans for an upcoming conference before prepping to teach tomorrow's classes. #AcademicLife

25 years ago, I moved to the UK. I was meant to do my PhD and return, after 3 or 4 years. Some thoughts and a short personal reflection on that journey. #academicchatter #academiclife

Ran a workshop on action research at uni today. The concept is easy, but practice is where we drift because we keep people at the centre of our narrative without really involving them.

Cold morning, scholarly chaos. ♒📚 Halfway through journal manuscript research, started my next book, writers conference ahead, and capstone review before graduation.

The lecture shifted to assignment Q&A. It is amazing how many different ways people can ask about the word count, as if a new phrasing will magically grant them an extra 200 words. #AcademicLife #StudentProblems #University
