🛡️ We need to protect academia as a core academic institution!
@oscarwestlund.bsky.social paid a visit to our lab last week and held a panel discussion at SPUI25 with @natalihelberger.bsky.social and @theresajseipp.bsky.social, on the topic "Academic Freedom Under Attack".
Here are some takeaways 👇️
Super excited to dive into the project along with a group of curious researchers!
The topic lies at the intersection of different literatures, so there's quite some scope to find new connections 🔭
Join Adarsh and I for the Complexity72h challenge in June!

Very excited to join the group, learn from its great expertise, and delve deeper and contribute to such important topics!
Stop, and think
Is it worth my time?
Is it worth my mind?
