Little green cactus with lots of spikes

The least good part of my day was working out field weighted citation impacts for a bunch of individual papers. Is there a reason AI can’t automate all this silly work?

The best thing about today was peer coaching with leaders from across my uni. Professional and academic staff who might never usually meet, trusting each other and developing #leadership skills.

(Entirely genuine gratitude post)

I'm glad @aliepea.bsky.social is here now so I can publicly thank her for creating an #AcWriMo space in the School of Public Health. Logging achievements on the accountability spreadsheet is really working for me!

I like to check in on the other place as some of my excellent colleagues have yet to migrate. My "For You' feed is dominated by yesterday's warnings from the Bureau of Meteorology, a smattering of news posts, and a lot of ads. Has everyone else left?

A colleague and I were laughing so hard on a zoom call she had to apologise to unseen office mates. It was good to share a laugh

Very envious - our bucket of tadpoles turned out to be mosquito larvae

Worked on a vaping paper led by the excellent Ruby Grant, and worked on the report for SWASH 2024 (biennial survey of LBQ women’s health, run with ACON). Very satisfying :)

I’m going to post about #AcWriMo to keep myself accountable. And to show myself how productive I can be if I shut my door, ignore my email and pretend I have no responsibilities.

Check out our most recent paper from our longitudinal qual study QSOX. It's about vaping among sexual minority women in Australia (none of my co-authors are here, yet!) rdcu.be/dZ9NE

Most of my #AcWriMo time has been spent writing ‘research opportunity and performance evidence’ for a grant application. Does this count? Or is AcWriMo for outputs?

On reflection, my feelings are not so mixed lol

I’ve been bragging about university rankings on LinkedIn and the other place. Bluesky feels like the wrong crowd for uni rankings. Except to admit I have very mixed feelings about uni rankings.

I'm late to the #AcWriMo party this year but grateful for the Sydney School of Public Health crew for running some shut up and write sessions for me to join. Thanks to @ruthmottram.bsky.social for putting 'pay yourself first' into my feed.
