Five years ago, I made a decision.

I could keep everything I learned about publishing, academic dissemination, and building a research voice to myself.

Or I could share it all.

I chose to share.

Not because I'm trying to sell you something (I'm not).

It took me 14 months to write and publish my first paper.
(6 months for second and 4 months for third).

Here is the writing tip I wish I had during my PhD because it changed my research writing process:

Writing isn't about perfection. It's about consistent progress.

Most researchers think that research is HARD.

You are expected to:

- Spend weeks drowning in endless academic papers
- Struggle with the implementation of complex methodologies
- Feel overwhelmed by mountains of (often inaccurate) information

But it's (mechanically) really simple:

- Use...

The worst thing you can do in your research is letting your day control you instead of you controlling your day.

I see this in academic life all the time.

Example:

1. Constantly reacting to urgent emails
2. Jumping between tasks without focus

Hi, I'm Dawid (yes, with a 'W' inside rather than 'V'). And I'm a professor in decarbonisation.

Most of you know me as the founder of Motivated Academic.
The LinkedIn academic passionate about research impact and thought leadership.

In my domain, many see me as *just* another...

I'm just a professor with a mission. But here's what I discovered on my journey to combat invisibility of research in academia:

1. Recognise the power of your knowledge and don't let it hide in the shadows

2. Craft compelling messages that resonate beyond academia

3. Communicate with...

I am regularly approached by major publishers (e.g., Elsevier/Springer) to write a book and consolidate my expertise... (but I am torn about what to do).

The fact is, creating a high-quality resource like this would require several hundred hours (or even more).

This is the time I can...

Academics, feeling busy all day but still making no progress on your research?
That was me — until I tried this one simple shift.

It wasn’t a new AI app.
It wasn’t a better to-do list.
It was this:

Once upon a time.

I found myself juggling #research, #teaching, and thought #leadership activities all at once:

Just been invited to join for-profit publisher established in 2022 as an editor-in-chief, with flexibility to develop my own journal. Thoughts?

I'm against for-profit publishers taking advantage of academic community, but is there something we can do about it?

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #720,503!

So blessed to live here and call this place home! And no, that's not Spain, Italy, or Canary Islands.

It's Yorkshire in the UK.

Wonderful place to build a career in net zero and take care of your wellbeing.

Hey! I’m Dawid, and I spend my days in the thrilling world of net zero. But it’s not just about carbon reduction for me.

My true mission? To create 1000 thought leaders in #STEM.

Knowledge alone isn't enough. We need leaders to drive deployment.

What about you? What fuels your mission?

We need to work together to solve climate change. Not for us, but for future generations. Agree?
