The problem, then, is “the failure to produce a system that is capable of evaluating research on its merits and not by its ability to navigate the hidden curriculum of how you get papers and grants,” Thorp said. chronicle.com/article/penn-d…

So happy to connect with UK Domestic Abuse Commissioner @nicolejacobsST yesterday in Reyjkavik, Iceland!. She is simply brilliant. And I highly recommend the classy, peaceful, elegant bar, Tipsy, right in the city center. @ZoeRathus @AleishaEbrahimi @nicolejacobsST
