“As a recovering academic, I’ve realized that science isn’t just about gathering data — it’s about igniting curiosity, earning trust and connecting with people. I used to think my job was to produce knowledge. Now, to me, it’s more about sharing it.”

Bats on film: scientific storytelling from a recovering academic

Scientific exchange is more than just research papers. Get your camera out to capture the beauty and intensity of your work, says Mariëtte van der Walt.

@DrKEichhorn Aber ist das wirklich eine Frage der Lohnschere? Oder nicht doch eher des Gesamtpakets (generelle Arbeitsbedingungen, Stellensicherheit, Wertschätzung der Mitarbeiter, Work-Life Balance, etc.)? #altac #recoveringacademic
@thor no worries, I can vouch for the accuracy. #RecoveringAcademic

@MikeInTheGarden

In person I'm a #recoveringacademic and #UnitarianUniversalist practicing #FeministTheory outside the corporate university.

For fun I bake, cook #vegetarian one-pot meals with whatever vegetable is in season, and sing in #choir.

Profile alt text:
Banner: a light pink with white text, rounded font with texture, reads "A WORLD WITHOUT TRANS PEOPLE HAS NEVER EXISTED AND IT NEVER WILL." The full image from @torracadh.bsky.social includes this text with white and light blue background in the trans flag.

Profile: Unitarian Universalist chalice symbol rendered with a watermelon as the vessel and with an olive branch as the wick and light. This is in bold greens and reds. In a circle around the top of this image reads in cursive "until all are free, none are free." And around the bottom in caps "VOTE YES-AIW."

Nach fast neun Jahren räume ich heute mein Büro aus und halte morgen die letzte Vorlesung meines Lebens.
Zu Jane Austen, was ich schön finde.
Und damit beende ich nach 22 Jahren das Kapitel Hochschulkarriere. Ein bisschen #IchbinHannah ist da drin, aber der Frust ist verraucht. Heute nur Wehmut beim Ausräumen des Büros.
Nächste Woche dann mit Schwung in das neue Berufsleben. Immerhin ohne Pendeln, DAS zumindest werde ich nicht vermissen (aus dem Zug gepostet).
