I love this new movement Positive Academia, which suggests to re-imagine our academic values, for example by putting more emphasis on the quality of #research (not the quantity), and to have more attention for positive impact on stakeholders (and not our individual achievements). It is also a strong call for #action because it is up to all of us to transform academia: “No matter who you are, where you are, or what you do in #academia you can contribute.”

Interesting article on how 'digital twins' are making #remote work possible for technicians, doctors and nurses. I also love how he 'engineers serendipity' to make sure that people make diverse connections - otherwise people tend to mainly socialize with others that are similar to themselves, what I also recognize in my own research on the expat bubble!

Time to introduce my book "Breaking out of the Expat Bubble: How to Make Intercultural Connections and Friends" here on Mastodon! It came out last year and collects twenty years of research on the contact between expats and locals both within and outside of the workplace, for example how to encourage this contact through buddy systems. Check it out here:

Breaking out of the Expat Bubble: How to Make Intercultural Connections and Friends

Moving abroad means having to settle into a new host country. This book enables expats and those who support them to create intercultural connections and friendships both within and outside the workplace. Having left behind a large part of their social network, expats need to make local friends to really settle in. This book shows you how this works, and that breaking out of the expat bubble and making local friends helps you adjust and settle in the new place you call home. Organisations and so

Happy to keep supporting 100weeks! A group of women in extreme poverty receives unconditional cash for 100 weeks - they know best what to use the money for. The results are great, 82% of women are still out of extreme poverty 4 years later! Will you help get the next group started? https://100weeks.org/ #poverty #cash #women

As the historic town of Leuven strives to become carbon neutral, it is transforming how its building are made – and demolished. Are there lessons for the rest of the world?

Yesterday I watched this Danish documentary about how IKEA loves wood yet turns out not to manage their woods in Romania as sustainably as they claim. Was also a bit shocked to learn about how low FSC standards can sometimes go. There is a lot of greenwashing going on there...

The fediverse is an ecosystem where you - not some incellionaire obsessed with eugenics - own your digital identity.

Where your social graph belongs to you, not an algorithm’s shifting fucking whims.

Where moving from one service to another doesn’t mean losing everything you’ve built and everything you’ve ever said.

The Fediverse Isn’t the Future. It’s the Present We’ve Been Denied.

For years, the internet has been shrinking. Not in size, not in data, but in ownership. A vast, decentralized network of personal blogs, forums, and independent communities has been corralled into a handful of paved prison yards controlled by a few massive corporations. Every post, every “friend,” every creative work—

Westenberg.

Very interesting article about a Danish hospital where they are making a great effort to make good, healthy and delicious meals for their patients while also reducing the amount of meat. And with good results and satisfied patients! #dkgreen #vegetarian #hospital

“As the United States declares war on the economies and people that were once its closest friends, it’s time for its global power and influence to be reined in once and for all. Instead of allowing the US government to continue to bully and threaten countries around the world, its Western allies must team up with friends in the Global South not just to force the United States into line, but to tackle the power of its out-of-control tech industry once and for all.”
