Great course on #AcademicFreedom – I learned several things and it sharpened my thinking!

12/10 can recommend – takes 60-90min only

Departmental meeting on updating the curriculum. The Head of School speaks.

"Students all do shoplifting now. It's become an integral part of modern life. We will fail our students if we don't teach them how to shoplift well, and how to do it responsibly."

"Colleagues, we ask each of you to draw up plans on how you will integrate responsible shoplifting in your courses. Please submit your proposals to the Education Committee by the end of the month."

"To help you engage with these exciting new developments, we offer a series of hands-on workshops. The first of these will take place at the local Walmart at University Square. Yes, Professor Quintock, the workshops are mandatory."

Science is under attack. In a new Upstream post "The resilience of open science in times of crisis" @Jeroenson and I detail events around 5 types of threats, show how scientists and others are pushing back and propose a resilience model to better safeguard scientific communities, individuals and infrastructures. We argue that open science might be both more vulnerable and more resilient. https://doi.org/10.54900/pqrcx-8d019 #openscience #resilience #USpol #Trump #DefendResearch #scholcomm #academicfreedom
