What an Academic VA is (and isn’t):
I don’t write results, analyse data, or decide what gets published.
Authorship stays with the researcher.

I work around the science — submissions, visuals, coordination — so research can move forward smoothly. 👇

Some people do yoga.
I tidy slide decks.
Turning chaos into calm is my version of relaxing.✨

Manuscript submission can be delegated. 👇

Your science stays untouched. ✨

I'm a fan of #FAIRdata as part of working together, but think it should be #bornFAIR and also applied to a broader surrounding of research: https://communities.surf.nl/en/regie-op-data/article/fair-data-too-little-too-late-unless #OpenScience (managed to publish on same day as 'de Dag van de #Interoperabiliteit', minted by @forumstandaardisatie )
FAIR data: 'too little, too late', unless …

When people say "make data FAIR" I wonder whether they mean doing extra paperwork after the fact, or changing how data are created so they’re FAIR from the start —

What's your leadership style?

Some more stories with diagrams... about #MainCharacterEnergy, #NPCs and #Leadership read or listen :)

THE NPC TO MC SPECTRUM

Exploring my contrasting leadership style to Stuart's, I reflect on my preference for observation over action and the expectations of leadership in life.

I never left academia — I shifted toward the part of it where I’m strongest.

Structure, clarity, visuals, and knowledge transfer were always my favourite parts of research.

Now I help ideas move clearly from one mind to another ✨
