So here's the problem with #HigherEd Executives only considering a request for a raise when there is a competing offer:
It's f*&king racist, ableist, and sexist
Anyone out there know of an equitable practice?
Please share!

This whole 'living in fear' narrative needs to stop.
Living in fear is about rejecting the current state of a changing situation. Symptoms include refusing to be cautious, harming others, or shutting down completely.
Living informed, is taking into consideration what is actually happening and adjusting your behaviour.
Symptoms include better health, happiness, compassion.
Do not underestimate the time, care, and expertise it takes to prepare a student to learn.
Body, mind, emotional focus is required and the lesson can't begin until it is achieved.
This is not 'wasted' time on silly things. Students and observers may report that it is. But keep doing it. It matters.

The solutions of now are transdiciplinary
Nature-based solutions require a systems approach with no siloes
Yet global systems of #Education don't support this
Here's how #Biomimetics is currently developing
Let's rethink #HigherEd to do better!
Biomimetics must be taught to the next generation of designers in the interest of delivering solutions for current problems. Teaching biomimetics involves teachers and students from and in various disciplines at different stages of the educational system. There is no common understanding of how and what to teach in the different phases of the educational pipeline. This manuscript describes different perspectives, expectations, needs, and challenges of users from various backgrounds. It focuses on how biomimetics is taught at the various stages of education and career: from K-12 to higher education to continuing education. By constructing the biomimetics education pipeline, we find that some industry challenges are addressed and provide opportunities to transfer the lessons to application. We also identify existing gaps in the biomimetics education pipeline that could further advance industry application if a curriculum is developed.

Hey, who wrote that story in 2018 for Fortune about Trump rolling back a train-braking rule that was designed to prevent explosions near communities?
Huh! It was me?!

Scientists from @ScientistRebellion posted scientific papers documenting the reality of the #ClimateCrisis & the responsibility of #banks in financing it through investments and loans. Since the #ParisAgreement was signed, #DanskeBank has invested over 100 billion DKK in fossil fuel projects.
Some of the scientists glued themselves to the main door of the bank. Once the police arrived, they proceeded to arrest the scientists, including @FerRacimo and @nikolineborgermann. (3/n)
