From the dawn of BlueSky I’ve been waiting for a WordPress plug-in. Thank’s to @alexhedstrom.bsky.social there is now a PERFECT solution for this. Brilliant work.
Taking the "elevator pitch" literally and filming ours in the oldest (and prettiest) elevator we could find! With @teresethoni.bsky.social, @mirjamglessmer.com, Frank Schreier

Best Monday morning: Arriving at my desk to find Catherine Denial's "Pedagogy of Kindness" AND Flower Darby's "Joyful Online Teacher" waiting for me! Don't know where to start!!
In case you missed it-- check out our Paper Skygest preprint! ⤵️
Excited to present a new preprint with @nkgarg.bsky.social: presenting usage statistics and observational findings from Paper Skygest in the first six months of deployment! 🎉📜 arxiv.org/abs/2601.04253
The most exciting thing happened yesterday: Someone sent me a picture and asked me a question about an observation in a rotating tank, so I dropped everything else and HAD to investigate! Does anyone have any other ideas of what might be going on there? mirjamglessmer.com/2026/03/24/b...
BABY I’M BACK! What are these weird cells in the rotating tank?
My friend Torge (who I had a super exciting rotating tank experiment project with, “Dry Theory 2 Juicy Reality”, check it out!), sent me the picture above and asked whether I had any idea what was…

LTHEChat 347: Loneliness in Higher Education
Join us on Bluesky with guest Bianca Fox (@bianca-f-o-x.bsky.social) on Wednesday, 10th December 2025 at 20:00 GMT It is not uncommon at this time of the year to talk about loneliness. From an increased number of TV commercials encouraging us to remember those who are spending Christmas alone to numerous local events meant to bring people together, it feels like suddenly the entire world is refocusing on loneliness as if this were a feeling only associated with winter or Christmas.

I feel like "generous scholarship" is the best compliment anyone can give me regarding my work. That is what I strive for! And it is definitely what I see and hugely appreciate in @agnesbosanquet.bsky.social & colleagues' MOOC, too!

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

“Teachers should be allowed to be learners”! Currently reading Lidgren et al. (2006)
What are the barriers to including sustainability into courses and curricula at Lund University? Lidgren, Rodhe and Huisingh (2006) start from the premise that universities have an important role to play, "the state of the world is not the work of ignorant people, but rather the opposite, the result of work made by people with ". But after a strong start towards environmental responsibility and sustainability, by 2004 they report that Lund University has fallen into a bit of a slump, where for example the university president's excuse for not meeting environmental goals is that the goals were too ambitious in the first place.
