@KirstyWebeck THIS! I mean I’ve never been disappointed, but still. It’s a risk.

[Tim Kastelle @timkastelle]

Brisbane people should check this out!

Just because it turned out badly doesn’t mean we were wrong when we made the decision.

[UQ POLSIS @POLSISEngage]

In their latest episode, Al talks to @SebKaempf about how he integrates 3-hour-long practical, self-experiential ‘MediaLabs’ into his course to deepen student learning through research, collaboration, and ‘getting their hands dirty': https://t.co/wprku9a23H @UQ_POLSIS_Grads

[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

Last spring, a pseudonymous author named Stokes Prickett began mailing out copies of a small, stapled book titled “Foodie” to a select group of writers and critics. But who was Stokes Prickett? https://t.co/fL8x8u8jWd

@aliogilvie I've sent the invite to your team through. Let me know if you want me to email it to anyone else since you're on leave. Hope you're doing something awesome!

@aliogilvie All submissions due 1 July if possible but I’d take them that weekend, too. Everyone procrastinates on getting them done in time.

[Carrie Finn @cfinn14]

@aliogilvie I’ll send you some details this week and the relevant links with rules and such. We’d love to have your team join the competition!

[Carrie Finn @cfinn14]

@aliogilvie FYI Our annual lip synced competition is scheduled for 4 July. Did you want to put a team together and take on UQ?

[Nicholas Coles, PhD @coles_nicholas_]

A year ago, a non-academic friend listened to a talk I gave. I thought it went great. My friend disagreed.

She said that academics are experts at making interesting stuff boring—and that we should all take a speech class.

So I did. And here are 6 most useful things I learned.

@aliogilvie We’ve been rewatching The Man in the High Castle.

[Carrie Finn @cfinn14]

I’ve spent the last month halfheartedly trying to get Amazon Prime Video to stop thinking I was travelling. For some reason, tonight my browser took me to a region change page and it’s resolved. Now I’ll scroll for 30 minutes trying to find something to watch and find nothing.

[Carrie Finn @cfinn14]

@aliogilvie I did! I wish I’d read the book first. But I liked the intensity of the series.

[Sebastian Kaempf @SebKaempf]
