They do - more often that we would like to believe.

Good. Enjoy your time there. Next time come to Aarhus and we'll have coffee.

Hope you got to see more of Denmark than that. :-)

Thank you for inviting me. Had fun today.

These two keep me sane.

Same here. Good for inspiration.

Would love to be there. Need to find an excuse to get to Edinburgh and learn more.

Congrats.

Just booked tickets for London for Easter and plan pick up the book from Gay’s the Word. Looking forward to reading it.

but I really think we need to rethink it completely. Right now we’re forcing it in not the existing system and as the development in the tech companies show, then it’s also easy to remove again. With no consequences for the tech sector. But big consequences for minorities.

My concern is that we’re trying to solve tomorrow’s problems with yesterday’s tools. Or rather - as the sector is 10 years behind the rest of society on EDI we’re solving tomorrow’s problems with last decade’s tools. Right now I’m doing s lot of thinking and writing. I have no solutions right now

I know. I’m just genuinely scared.

I think the sector is being naive and for the first time in my adult life I’m genuinely afraid for my personal security on the future.

I desperately want to agree. But I think Stephen underestimates how conservative research institutions are. It also builds on the belief in the sector that research happens in a vaccuum. And perhaps that the research sector is more enlightened than the rest of society. My alarm bells are ringing.
