Must read for every government with urgency? Strongly recommend Deficit Myth and Doughnut Economics. Adding Mission Economy to my reading list.

Three books that could be quite useful for the UK's new Labour government.

@Mia_R_Murphy Congratulations Mia and good luck on the last stretch.

[Fatma Mili @FatmaMili]

@pasi_sahlberg @ConversationUK Very interesting! Is it because teaching is much more relational? faculty sills and personality play the predominant role?

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

We haven’t lost the capacity to pay attention.

179 studies, 32 countries: on tests of concentration from 1990 to 2021, children didn’t decline—and adults actually improved.

When we want to focus, we can. Our distraction issues are a matter of motivation, not ability.

Tomorrow afternoon, we’ll showcase the dynamic year it's been for our @REP4 Alliance. Join us live to see how support is growing across the country for the alliance, which gives students the power to transform higher education.

South Australia went from 1% renewables in 2007 to 68% in just over 15 years. It's on track for 100% renewable energy by 2030.

It can be done.

We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

treat your opinions as hypotheses and your decisions as experiments. Argue like you're right; listen like you're wrong.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

How to keep an open mind:

1. Think like a scientist: treat your opinions as hypotheses and decisions as experiments

2. Embrace confident humility: argue like you’re right, listen like you’re wrong

3. Build a challenge network: seek out people who sharpen your reasoning

@BessassiTajouri Congratulations @BessassiTajouri . Very befitting. You make us all proud.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

The purpose of liberal arts education is not to build your career. It’s to broaden your mind.

You don’t have to justify a major based on job prospects. The only explanation necessary is “it interests me.”

The true value of college is improving your ability to think and learn.

Grand Valley is growing and today we shared the news with the entire state! The final numbers confirm our incoming class of 4,974 is our largest ever, nearly 25% larger than last year. Thanks to everyone in the GVSU community for working to make this possible.

Paris is working to become a '15-minute city' where everything you need is located locally within 15 mins. Every street will have a bike lane, 60,000 parking spots are being removed & replaced with parks. They aren't done yet.

We have the solutions implement them.

Great to hear the level of alignment and commitment of both institutions @GVSU, @JacksonCollege and both presidennts @PhillyGVPres and @DanielJPhelan to students' well being and success.

[Philomena Mantella @PhillyGVPres]

Today, I signed an agreement with @JacksonCollege creating a pathway for Jackson College nursing students to earn a bachelor's degree from @GVSU, strengthening the talent pipeline that Michigan desperately needs in this field.

@PhillyGVPres @GVSUart Art comes in so many forms and languages. When technology can democratize it and socialize it everyone is a winner, especially
@GVSU
students and community.

An upcoming upgrade to the @GVSUart apps will use augmented reality to help people better understand pieces of art, while showcasing the work being done at Project Grand Path, our region's first student-led maker community.
