I watched the highlights of the Connacht v Saracens for the Champions Cup. WHAT A GAME!!!! @leinsterrugby.bsky.social game earlier today was also quite convincing in the second half. Great start from the Irish provinces

Is this delusion or arrogance? Pressumably you submitted all evidence that would clear your team's name. Are you holding on to a huge last minute surprise? If not, start cooporating to avoid maximum sentence www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

This is getting beyond ridiculous! And academics are part of the problem now!

My 2nd presentation was done with a much smaller but very engaged group. A few hours off to rest before taking the train to Helsinki airport. The #ECER2026 conference was a resounding success. @ecer-eera.bsky.social

Thank you to all who joined the "ERC Walking Together, the Sunday Event" this afternoon. The guided tours were informative and a great way to meet other Emerging Researchers and the networking continued after at the restaurant. Special thanks to Elina Wolff, Eunji Kim and Oshie Nishimura-Sahi.

#InfantinoOut UEFA may have its flaws but i'm delighted it is standing up to the sell-out of world football.

It can be really bad with accents, such as mine.... it butchers what i say to the point that it becomes comedy.

The work Irene Lubbe and I did in re-designing a Certificate of Teaching in Higher Ed aimed at PhDs was exciting (and time consuming and messy) & very rewarding. More details here: www.researchgate.net/publication/... #edusky #EdDev #HigherEd #academicsky #educationalresearch

Strategic curriculum redesign: a triad approach with action mapping, design thinking, and change management

A white board that is very messy, containing the initial 12 topics from the original Certificate of teaching in Higher Ed and additions of other topics, ideas, principles

GenAI is basically a tool. We should start from the basis of asking "do i need to use AI for this task". The answer may be NO, in which case it is business as usual. Many things can still be done as well, if not better without AI (especially if we need to waste time on correcting its mistakes)

Textbooks can discourage girls from enrolling to science degrees (specifically Physics/Chemistry) & following science related professions in certain countries (Ireland is the focus here). In this article i highlight this case and suggest ways to improve the gender balance. #edusky #iteachphysics
