I've experienced failure in my academic career - who hasn't? And I wrote about it last year in @lseimpactblog.bsky.social as a counterpoint to @fasosmaastricht.bsky.social research evaluation. blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsoci...

📚 Booked for the Summer: @sallywyatt.bsky.social recommends The Eighth Life (for Brilka) by Nino Haratischvili, translated by C. Collins and R. Martin. An epic, 1000-page novel tracing generations of a Georgian family shaped by the "red century." A perfect summer read to fully immerse yourself in.
