If you are in Eindhoven, come and meet me there! Why do we need to talk about leadership in academia ? Is leadership gendered? (Hint: of course!) Who are tokens and what is a role trap? Why are both men and women responsible for changing the discourse about women? www.tue.nl/en/our-unive...

Day 2 of my February feel-good series, where the inspiration comes from an unlikely place: a story of a budding engineer girl who refuses to give up. I used to read this story a lot to my boys - and these two lines we would chant repeatedly. Bedtime stories are scarcer now...

We fall behind. We fall short. We fall apart. But what if the problem isn’t the fall—but how we see it? Inspired by #GetUpDay on 01/02 that’s what I’m exploring this month: mental strength, #InnerDevelopmentGoals, and the power of framing to help us get up—again and again.

What a thrill to get a Podcast notification this morning from @wordsandactions.bsky.social ! We talk 'money' 💰 in ep.#30, the dark side of it: readability, obfuscation, (no) transparency. We bring out the big guns: from DiCaprio to the CEO of one of the biggest gun manufacturers. shorturl.at/WpwcR

I love the contrast here between useful drones and free play of intellect. But there is more: passion, care, courage, activism. Ignoring these as aims in education will leave us with a world with no conditions for intellect - or people. #IDGs #transformativeducation #futureskills
