So what's this year's Hot Frosty, friends?

Unpopular opinion: if you "don't have time" to read your PhD students' work before it goes to a journal, then you have too many students and need to reconsider your workload and their publishing strategies. Don't try to make journals do your job. #academicsky

Love how flights are no longer "late" or "delayed", now they're "retimed".

I have never considered or spent as much time considering the correct bread order until I came to India.

You just died. The 6th picture in your phone gallery is what killed you. This is an Indian Crow. So he could if he wanted, i guess?

Finished class early today so I'm taking time out for a swim. Which mostly looks like reading by the pool but w/e

I know Kochi isn't Mumbai or Delhi in terms of traffic but it's hard for me to imagine more chaos than this. The drivers have absolute nads of steel.

Sitting at breakfast in a really awkward configuration of tables for 2 with only 1 occupant and they're all facing me. I can't look up.

OMG the food in Kerala is just so good. I've only had one thing I didn't immediately love (payasam) and I didn't hate it, just not my thing.

Are you a researcher, policy maker or institutional leader with an interest in how we can determine the impact of evidence reviews? (Full invitation in image and alt text) Details and survey here: monash.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... #academicsky

It’s pronounced Christmas jifts

Just a cursory under-car bomb-check, a bag x-ray and a personal wanding and I'm back in my hotel for the night. Nothing unusual, just India.

I'm at LuLu Mall with at least half of Kerala. I've braved the Indian version of Sephora, and a very unimpressive plus size store. I was going to hit the supermarket but shit's wild y'all.

But it is (at least when I'm not in a car) really beautiful here.

Having the full Indian experience by being stuck in traffic chaos

And we're off! JBI Colloquium 2025 has started in beautiful Kochi, India. #jbikochi2025

It's just violence for Singapore Airlines to make you exit the plane through business, first and oligarch class after 7 hours in the punitive hell of their economy cabin.

Does anyone else have trouble deciding what to wear on long flights?

Off to India tomorrow morning (so, so early!) Have I packed? LOL no.

Street full of looky-loos, waiting to see if the poor kid on top of the construction site next door will jump

Doing evidence synthesis? Wondering about using AI? Here's the guideline you've been waiting for! journals.lww.com/jbisrir/full...

The queer kids of Adelaide are having their formal tonight and it's in my neighbourhood. They sound like they're having an amazing time.

It's 12 degrees (feels like 8!) and there are people *choosing* to sleep in the street for the bloody Xmas parade tomorrow wtf

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

Currently listening to the Metallica soundcheck. From my office. Yay.

Someone, probably a state govt minister is having a press conference at the airport right now. Very state government things.

Rewatching Baz's Romeo + Juliet tonight. It's probably the best film he ever made and might be my favourite version of R&J

Has anyone else tried to donate clothes through the Uber/Red Cross drive today and found it hilariously terrible? Pretty sure my driver has dumped my bag by the side of the road somewhere because he didn't know where to take it.

Got my visa, plane ticket and somewhere to sleep so I guess I'm going to India next month! #jbikochi

Is Treelaw just around the corner?

Do I know anyone who reads Persian well enough to help resolve a machine translation of a health research article from Persian to English and would be willing to have a look? The researchers have no funding but we could do some kind of skills barter perhaps.

What the US has done to Philippine food is a goddamn crime

I can always count on qantas to ruin my day

#teamcassowary It's that time again, Bird of the Year voting is open. Vote early, vote often! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

It's like a postcard...

Calamity follows and it wasn't even my fault this time

Just saying, while the US is busy dismantling evidence-based healthcare and research, the Philippines is introducing a national level evidence-synthesis initiative to inform clinical practice guidelines in the pursuit of universal healthcare.

Exciting event in the Philippines today #jbi @jbiebhc.bsky.social

What's your sign?

Hi Sydney! 👋

This is really bad. It won’t get the popular opposition the Kimmel incident did, but it’s way more sweeping and authoritarian. This is an effort to bring the full force of government down on any and all opposition to this administration. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

The cafe side of my local is closed so I'm eating breakfast over on the bar side. Feels slightly transgressive at this time of the morning lol

Weirdly, this is the kind of thing I miss now that I don't live in Brisbane. Adelaide is very tame in comparison www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Wow, no one could have predicted this...🙄

Today's Wordle solution is amusing in the context of Trump's idiot lawsuit
