We net the stint tersely.

We try the silent tenets—

I do not want to “Do my own research.” I want to pay trained accredited experts to do the research, trained accredited experts to report on findings, and trained accredited experts to make policy based on them.
I am busy af with my own job, I don’t need to do eight zillion more.

Solvitur ambulando is my favourite Latin phrase. It means "it is solved by walking".

Nice - also eek on the lack of steps!
I had a version of this: I asked students to imagine that they had a research assistant to do their assignment; then they had to write instructions for their assistant; and then they had to become the assistant and follow their own steps.

I got this useful bon mot from a middle school teacher recently.
In response to, “I DONT UNDERSTAND,” he calmly said, “okay what steps have you taken to understand?”
And that’s when I realized that a lot of folks have no steps.

Love this!
Sustainability: Last week, Australian Society for Medical Research held its 64th National Scientific Conference - a sold out event in Brisbane. One aspect that I am most proud of are the name tags. They are completely biodegradable - they have seeds in them and will grow when planted!

I saw a brilliant talk at CGI a few years ago — Nick Johnson, Angela Turrou, and apologies to researcher #3 because I’ve forgotten you — that explored optimal times to share student work. Is it better to share polished or incomplete? More engagement and discourse for the latter! #elemmathchat

other fascinating discovery of the year because I don’t know what went wrong before they got to me:
3x + 10 = 8x - 17
Will get simplified by *many* children to
11x = -7
