Heard via @humanitiesau.bsky.social (on LinkedIn) that Graeme Turner passed away last night. 😔
He was Head of School at UQ when I was there. As a colleague, he was inspiring, no BS, and always encouraging.
Good way to remember breadth of his expertise is to read his blog: graemeturner.org/blog/

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.

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 😶🌫️

Less than one in 20 (3%) of Australians think that making a profit should be a primary purpose of universities, yet more than half (54%) believe that it currently is a primary purpose.
