Do we need a wealth and labour acknowledgement in the UK? "land acknowledgements should not be tokenistic, learned by rote and delivered with as much feeling as a station announcement that the train on platform 2 is ... 5 mins late" - @drhelenkara.bsky.social researchwhisperer.org/2026/03/24/d...

Loving being at Deakin's Waterfront campus for Shut Up and Write. So beautiful. Come and join us at Waterfront Pantry every Thursday, 9:30 - 11:30 am. #SUaW #DeakinWaterfront #AcademicWriting #ECRChat

The sign on the cafe table reads "Welcome to Shut Up and Write". Out the window there is sunshine, umbrellas and the bay in the distance.

It's that time of year again. The extended anticipation of knowing exactly what you want but wondering if you'll get it. 🎁 #AcademicSky #postdoc #PhDsky [Comic by The Upturned Microscope]

One cartoon scientist says: "I asked Santa for a research grant." Their lab colleague exclaims, "You still believe in research grants?"
