Juggling hockey, tennis, academics, while also working as a part-time physiotherapist sounds impossible, right?

UWC Hockey defender and alumna, Keegan Hunt (22) did it!

Well said!

As an academic, I work at an "institute of higher education" not an "institute of higher publication."

Research and publications are important. But, even more important is teaching students and mentoring researchers. We need a reward structure that reflects those priorities.

[Ṣẹ̀yẹ Abímbọ́lá @seyeabimbola]

“The little that is known about scholarly production outside the English-speaking world is revealing about the inequalities of dominant knowledge practices...The characterisations of non-Western publishers as ‘predatory’- is a conceit which reaffirms colonial hierarchies.”

[Jen Heemstra @jenheemstra]

Whether in science or leadership, it’s okay to not have all of the answers. When we’re willing to admit what we don’t know, it frees us to embrace and own what we do know.

Who run the global health agenda? Wise perspective from @paimadhu Global health needs to urgently tackle the lack of diversity, equity and inclusion #GHSYPS2020 #GlobalHealth

[Mmaki Jantjies @MmakiJ]

Post the pandemic, let academic conferences remain online, let meetings turn to emails, let productivity triumph over location of work, let "norms" be overcome by innovation, sincerely yours, working mommy.

Our final report on the UCT ERT Student Experience Survey results (n=3818) highlights the role of residences in reducing inequality. Students who moved out of UCT residences after term 1 had a significantly harder time during ERT than students who were never in residence.

@michael_rowe Maybe by changing our mindset with respect to the bigger role that we as physiotherapists can actually play in the broader scheme of things, as we have expertise that allow us to work in a variety of contexts #inBeta20

[British Journal of Sports Medicine (BJSM) @BJSM_BMJ]

I retweeted original to give @Michael_Rowe full credit but principle applies to every profession of course. So as a trained (& qualified, but not licensed) sport & exercise medicine physician, I endorse this "Rowe Recommendation" for all of our community. #LearningStartsAtHome

Not gonna lie I'm pretty pleased with this

[Ben Ellis @bendotellis]

At #WCPT19 when @michael_rowe & I presented the #unposter we argued that much of that conference could be done just as well online, ⬆️ing access & ⬇️ing financial, environmental & time costs.

Who knew #worldphysio21 would put our argument to the test??

At some or other point we have all failed and fell short of our goals. However, these failures should be seen as stepping stones rather than setbacks. Keep picking yourself up and pushing through, because at the end of the day perseverance builds character. #StayFocused

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

There's no shame in not knowing things! The only shame is to pretend that we know everything. 🧠

[Celia McKee @CeliaMcKee]

My grant got rejected. I failed. So I'm saying it on Twitter. I don't want sympathy. I just wish people would say stuff like this on Twitter.
