@nteunion.bsky.social is calling on ANU Council to stop the job cuts.

My first wearable garment, that's not a scarf 😁. Neapolitan 🍨 inspired tshirt. I learned the hard way that wool from a frogged project works up and looks different than 'fresh' wool (in the white stripe). But after 20 years of not knitting, I didn't think I could even pull this off!!! #knit

Today in #AcademicSchitt when nothing is 💩 and your PDR mid-term is lovely, supportive and collaborative affair 😁. What a difference a workplace makes ...

NO!
Ever wondered why it seems difficult to tell your doctor about the *other* problem? Or, as a doctor, to elicit what the patient is *really* there for?

Hello from Brisbane, getting my #pragmatics fix #ipra2025 #IPC #commsky. Already ran into unexpected participants @superlinguo.bsky.social @elenasemino.bsky.social & and my friend from PhD days George Major!
I am just one little ethics law and professionalism fish in the big medical school sea... and new; so will see, I shared with the team :) but I def have covered some aspects in newly developed lectures on bias and co and also on clinician safety (bullying, harrassment, burnout)
This is great! I'm just sketching a new lecture to cover all's things bias and beyond at Deakin 😁 thanks for the hard work!

With some manually added as I can't believe none of silverchairs neon ballroom was on the list! Also all of 2020-2025 seems to have passed me by 🫣

Yes such a poor representation and nothing from neon ballroom at all!

Today in #AcademicSchitt it seems that the 60 day clock on moving my #DECRA between institutions has reset after I did not have a current employment history on RMS. Been at Deakin for 5 months now and DECRA is somewhere 🤷♀️ idk... @arc-tracker.bsky.social
So important 🏳️🌈 reminded of this youtu.be/UVepoXddTW4?...
It would be very easy to add a box to the the observation chart for parent/carer response to a question that elicits whether they feel the child is stable

These are insane~!~
