Also gave the Common Cartridge Converter a small update: clearer step-by-step instructions (including a direct skeleton download link if you don't have a Grav Helios Course Hub install yet), and copy that's upfront about what your students actually get – not just what data carries over.

Anyone have advice on finding a new #altac career, after leaving a tenured faculty position? Former #sociology prof here, tried (and failed) to make a go at a solopreneur path in #DEI consulting, then trans justice coaching and consulting specifically. (Not really a market for such work when there's an escalating genocide against trans people.) Been barely surviving as a server at a local vegan restaurant. Relieved to be out of #academia #highered but I didn't expect to flounder for years! #job

#introduction New here - an elder millennial unsure of where I am, but I was assured y'all are good people. Denise!

Commercial 'paper mills' are polluting the research ecosystem with fake manuscripts, creating systemic risks for clinical medicine. Ensuring the integrity of the knowledge commons requires transparent metadata and open scientific infrastructure.

We have more than 1,600 affordable, accessible state colleges and universities in the U.S. How did we get this amazing network of higher education institutions? The states deserve much of the credit, but so does a 19th century federal law that introduced the land-grant colleges. http://www.fromthegovt.com/state-colleges-and-universities/ #highered
