I enjoy this meme.

The Grade 6 class I was talking to a few years ago about research integrity did not.

Look out for it in one of my #resdev sessions in the future.

No-one I know would do this. Would they? 👀

I have been remiss with my #resdevmemes. This one's not a meme as much as one of my favourite subtweets. So many occasions to share it when one works in academia.

I'm not worthy to follow in the footsteps of @drmeagantyler.bsky.social 😶‍🌫️

OTD, when ARC Discovery outcomes are released, this may be appropriate.

Unfortunately.

I want to make a t-shirt to wear to academic confs that says: "I am not an H-index. I'm a human being." (cf. Elephant Man)

I may have shared this meme before but oldie goodie + all.

Still relevant. Especially when everyone else is always in the Teams room.

I deleted my Facebook account a while back. I don't miss that much of it but I do miss @chubblenauts.bsky.social there.

Hot-desking as a standard workplace environment requires this new work tool.

I hope these get to stay up until his visit in Sept.

You can help fund more of these by donating to the Everyone Hates Elon project: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/trump-uk-v...

I have.

And I hope the Trump Baby balloon follows him around the UK again.

On a less moody but more hungry note, this person’s Q. Ribs are giving me many feels. It smells fantastic. 🤤

New writing! "I can has research culture? Using memes in researcher development" - @drmeagantyler.bsky.social's and my post on the Hidden Curriculum blog, published the other day.

Do you use memes in your teaching? If so, why?

#AcademicSky
This split image meme is of a fully armoured knight carrying a large sword (top) with an arrow piercing the most vulnerable part of the visor (bottom) conveys the rapid shift from appearing as if we’re prepared for critique to being injured immediately by a piercing comment from Reviewer 2.

Well, well, well. Look who went back to Instagram.

I haven't posted yet - trying to piece together my previous network there. 🧩
My profile screenshot from newly re-created Instagram account, featuring monster crab and a woeful number of followers / following. Profile text says: "Well, I'm back. a) I missed people, and b) if I'm going to teach this stuff, I need to see what's happening"

Hmmm. No #ACGR2025 action on bluesky? 🤔

Have a couple of photos of our opening panels. So far, so fascinating!

Hobart, you are quite gorgeous. 💕
Fantastic panel about Indigenous graduate research / researchers. Sadie Heckenberg at the lectern, wearing a bright green dress. Full lecture theatre at the opening addresses of the ACGR meeting in UTas’ Studio Theatre.

Someone needs to design some counter-bots, then after the counter-counter-bots come out, there'll need to be counter-counter-counter bots... [The Big Hit ref, for those who know]

"This ‘College Protester’ Isn’t Real. It’s an AI-Powered Undercover Bot for Cops" - www.404media.co/this-college...
White text on black background: "American police departments near the United States-Mexico border are paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for an unproven and secretive technology that uses AI-generated online personas designed to interact with and collect intelligence on “college protesters,” “radicalized” political activists, and suspected drug and human traffickers, according to internal documents, contracts, and communications 404 Media obtained via public records requests."

Helped my 90yo mum do her postal vote today. Instructions clear and ballots/return envelope well designed.

Why is the AEC (Australian Electoral Commission) not here so I can shower them with praise?
