In case of interest, I've started to collate and curate an eclectic nascent series of talks by international scholars on #DoctoralCommunication:

Full series of talks is listed here: https://www.open.ac.uk/students/research/system/files/PACE%20EXTRA%20flyer.pdf

This is a professional cry for help to anyone who knows about this stuff.

Why is uploading videos to an institutional Vimeo account from an work MS Teams account failing?

- I am trying to make a series of Guest Speaker Videos Open Access;
- my institution is helping (with passwords, IT support, etc.) but it's not enough;
- I'm getting failed or incomplete uploads and errors.

What am I doing wrong/missing?

Nothing like a young person to forever remind you to 'get to the point' - my son, now 18, has been reminding me of his since his age of reason (7): mamma, and your point is?!

I am conflicted on many academic & ethical levels re. #AcWri & #AcademicCommunication in the business that #HigherEducation has become, but I can't make these tensions explicit on the Bird Site because my presence there is an institutional one and I tread tender ground both there & here.

But: this tweet & what it endorses bother me:

- it is self-promotion
- it gives a platform to someone who promotes easy fixes to academic communication.

Am I just too old school?

The need to make a living means I do not published much, but last year I was able to reflect, with Kerstin von der Krone, on the _History of Knowledge_ blog (https://historyofknowledge.net) at the end of my 10+ years at the German Historical Institute in Washington, DC.
