Angus Taylor and the Coalition reverting to the classic trope of blaming migrants🤦🏻‍♀️ Disgraceful attempt to sow division and hatred 😡

So foggy this morning that I saw a gang of meddling kids and their dog solving mysteries. Drive safe

What a powerful photo. Famous journalist @katiephang.bsky.social examines evidence and surfaces clues from the Epstein files released by the US government.

I had some leave over the last few days. I managed to spend lots of time with my huskies, did some baking, reading, and gardening, and binge watched some TV. Most importantly - no work! Work-life balance in academia, who knew it was possible?! #AcademicSky #ScienceSky

Over the last few weeks, I got someone to remove the giant yuccas out of my garden. They were bigger than the house, blocking out the sun & destroying the fence. Then I turned the space into a nice garden bed with native Australian baby Banksia & different types of Correa. Time to watch them grow 🌱💚

Received a bottle of Prosecco from a former student today. Guess it's a party Monday night at my house 🎉

Interesting English rule I learnt recently - titles are listed in front of names in order of permanency. The one that is easiest to lose goes first and the one that is hardest to lose goes last. That is why it is, for example, Reverend Doctor xyz not Doctor Reverend xyz. #WhoKnew #TodayYearsOld

Can GenAI actually make us better thinkers? 🤔 The short answer: yes, but only if we treat it as a partner, not a producer. In our latest blog post, we dive into the practical ways educators can foster critical thinking through GenAI integration. Check it out 👇 @sunyee-yip.bsky.social #AILiteracy

The Australian PM's message: For now, things are still OK, but it is going to get difficult. We should think of others, limiting our use of petrol where we can, working from home where possible. Let's work together to help the nation weather a significant challenge created by others.

Happy birthday Sasha! 🎉 #DogsOfBluesky #Husky #Dogs

What an article in today's Conversation: "The old adage, dating back to the Cold War, is that women are too emotional to be trusted with the nuclear button. But the men in the current White House might be the most emotional leadership group the US has ever had."

Women Leaders "Women are expected to promote gender equality and show communal behaviour, yet those who do so...are less likely to be selected for leadership." Derks et al. (2026). Don't rock the boat! Do men prefer women leaders who support the status quo? doi.org/10.1111/bjso...

Sometimes you just need to give yourself permission to rest. Lazy day sleeping on the couch with the dogs sleeping under the aircon. 💤😌

Listen to me talking about some of my recent research ⤵️

I do think "tech bro" is an overused term but I saw a tech bro at a big evil tech company talking about how much he hated it when people called him that and ever since then I make a point of using it whenever at all relevant.

Results of the Australian university census on staff wellbeing. All universities recorded high or very high risk psychosocial climates. 76% of university staff reported high- to very high-risk levels of psychosocial safety: more than double the general workforce. #AcademicSky #AcademicMentalHealth

It's not even midnight and we're already at "Deport Elmo."

I wrote this open access paper with Dave Boud and Phill Dawson to help educators align assessments with the kinds of learning they care about. We talk about 4P's (product, process, performance & practices) and what these different forms of evidence can tell us. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
