#DearAcademics,

Explaining your topic simply and succinctly is a highly valuable skill.

Overcomplicating abstracts for articles, books, or seminars is not only a form of gate-keeping, it also hurts your overall goal of trying to get people to engage with your ideas by hiding them behind jargon...

Hi BlueSky,

I am a New Zealander working in the UK as a content creator for the Centre for Energy Ethics which focuses on energy, climate change, & sustainability. I previously did a PhD in Roman History.

Outside of work, I enjoy playing & watching sports, gaming, and exploring the countryside
