#RAISE25 is in Glasgow and our podcast has been recorded for the occasion! This might be the cutest conference sponsor merch I've ever seen #chippo @raise-network.bsky.social @drlinneasoler.bsky.social

@drlinneasoler.bsky.social & I have had such joy working with our students! Josh has been exploring experiences of rural students in HE, while Francesca has been investigating what influences lecturers' teaching. Fascinating work from these two projects! @edusky.bsky.social @uofgchem.bsky.social

I hate these stairs so much, why did someone design them like this?? 😬
Stairs with a disconcerting angle that forces your left and right steps to be slightly different

So much stuff happened just in first month of the year - taking a moment to reflect on achievements and plan ahead for some exciting projects with a wonderful set of people 💜

@uofglasgow.bsky.social looking intriguing and cloaked in mystery this evening

Ok I'm going to give things another try here as it seems to have a flurry of activity since I last was here! Great to see so many of you at ViCEPHEC last week, and looking forward to next year in Liverpool!
