Scientific writing, haiku form... People say dogs, cats Horses feel emotions but why not chicken joy? Based on a scoping review I&#39;m working on covering human views of animal emotions. I may start all of my presentations now with haikus. #haiku #scicomm #academia #ScienceArt #sciencecomms

My university has now moved from nudging on to policy for train travel: anything under 700 km is now in principle to be done by train rather than flying. This is a good thing. #sustainability #train @utrechtuniversity https://dub.uu.nl/en/news/going-conference-less-700-kilometres-away-youll-take-train

Women in positions as full professors in the Netherlands still dismally low at 26,7%, and the shift is slowing down- this year just 1% more than last year. At this rate it will take until 2041 until an equal gender distribution is reached. The yearly monitor by the Dutch Network of Women Professors (LNVH) is a discouraging read this year. Seriously, NL academia. Do better. #LNVH #LNVHMonitor #WomenInScience #EDI #AcademiaNL @dutchacademics https://www.lnvh.nl/a-3849/monitor-2022-english-ver...

A &quot;two legged&quot; academic does both education and research- but is it really possible to balance them? And are two legs enough?

The more conversations I have about the role of AI in academic education and research, the more I want to yell this poem at people. @academicchatter #HigherEd #writing #academia
