Today, people are optimizing life “as though living were another job. Too many of us seem to be maxxing our way out of the experiences and perspectives that give us maximum meaning,” @ibogost.com argues. He explores how finding wonder might be the antidote:

a beautiful reflection on what tending a garden teaches us about resilience & relationship. "I know my actions do not end with me, that the more-than-human world responds back, and I witness that now; we are in conversation, and it is one that is deepening."

an ecologist & human geographer walk into a bar... a wonderful reminder that meaningful work begins with a conversation. “a crescendo of…an interdisciplinary partnership” is a phrase i will be borrowing.

"libraries must stop being quietly excellent...” LOUDER, please! 👏 "contributions to open science, RDM, or digital & AI literacies are not peripheral—they are central to how universities evolve. When the library is positioned within these agendas, it is...seen...as a strategic & enabling partner."

How Can Libraries Win—and Keep—A Seat at the Table?
In this Q&A, Isabelle Eula explains why positioning the library within the university’s governance structure should be viewed as a strategic investment rather than an administrative detail.

Combining science and activism.... does it damage public trust? Or could it be the only thing powerful enough to combat the disinformation and passivity that is holding back urgent action on existential threats such the Climate Emergency? More from us in @nature.com today: rdcu.be/fzcmS

love the drawing by artist ainhoa fournier that came from this project - a continuous line representing “we are all connected.” what a beautiful example of the creativity, imagination, & humanity participatory research makes space for.

“what if we just…didn’t protect the land?” is certainly one way to respond to a climate crisis

as someone still figuring out my academic voice, i find this article oddly reassuring. does anyone ever truly "find" it, or are papers always just a negotiated consensus?

"not just a narrative of beauty being diminished by human trampling and greed..." if you need some hope & wonder amid the news cycles lately, this is well worth your time

an interesting article on the public life of scientific knowledge, but i still find it remarkable that “should scientists speak up?” remains an active research question - the climate doesn’t seem interested in waiting for us to settle the debate
