Meet your students where they are. Lecture at the bus stop. Give feedback at the eras tour. Spring a pop quiz at a frozen yoghurt shop. Emerge from the ocean in full scuba gear clutching a list of supplementary readings

We’re seeing the results of the decades-long shift to a business of higher ed, rather than a culture of higher ed.

[Dialectical Systems @dialectical_sys]

We mourn the loss of Evelyn Fox-Keller, a trailblazer in the philosophy of biology. Her book "The Century of the Gene" examined the development of genetics in the 20th century, offering critical insights into the complex relationship between genes, organisms, and environment

Just typed "Anishinaabe" into a Reddit comment and autocorrect suggested replacing it with "Vanishing"...

You cannot make this shit up.

“Will I ever finish my dissertation?”

In our age, this question seems unthinkable, and yet, the more we allow it to fall into the oblivion of forgetting, all the more doggedly it shadows our every endeavor
