Get inspired for your personal academic website. Save this post for later.

These award winning websites from faculty, researchers, and grad students have lots to admire. I hope you get ideas and motivation for your own website project https://t.co/yeMsr3mp3D

Watching art videos makes me happy. Making them? I didn't know it would bring joy to my life 🎨

This is the art channel I started with my family. It features my father-in-law, Bob. The videos are by my husband, Matthew. I took most of the photos too 📸 🫶 https://t.co/AQmUmRLBOR

Are you an overcommitted researcher? What does that feel like?

If you're at the end of the semester, save this for later. Once you've rested a bit, you may find this video with Dr. Stefanie Robel helpful for you in the new year ✨🎙️🎧

I helped Bob (my father-in-law) record a short video about one of his favorite books of 2025, Muybridge by Guy Delisle from Drawn & Quarterly 📚

I just sent along a draft of a professor's new academic bio. I hope she likes it ✨

I took extra time because in our interview a bunch of things came up that weren't in her initial bio. They deserved space too.

What do you care about that didn't make it in your bio? ✍️

[Dr. Monica Cox @DrMonicaCox]

Show and Tell feels like going back to elementary school in the best kind of way.

When I joined the Association of Higher Education Consulting and Coaching, I was delighted to meet people I care about.

The last Show and Tell? Warm and welcoming. Now it's my turn ✨

I help academics with their online presence.

Whether you need support with your academic website design, social media, or bio, I'm here to help you.

No, X.

I don't wanna 'celebrate your birthday' by subscribing to Premium 🙄🫠
