It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Emeritus Professor Graeme Turner AO FAHA FQA — one of Australia’s most influential humanities scholars and a towering figure in the Academy’s history. humanities.org.au/our-communit...

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.

Corrected something in this post (ta, eagle-eyed librarian!) and counted all the zeroes properly this time. Elsevier's profit is not in the millions, it's billions. 😵‍💫

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.

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)

Ever run researcher development sessions and noted a gender disparity? Our paper on this topic, simmering away since 2024, is out! Our fearless leader + heaviest lifter on this work is undeniably @drmeagantyler.bsky.social.

* insert 'We're not worthy' meme *

Thanks, @herdjournal.bsky.social! 🫰
