While I'm here, new Thesis Whisperer post (it's hard to remember to feed all the platforms at the moment): thesiswhisperer.com/2024/03/02/w...

do we have a critical number of academics over here? I'm thinking of archiving my twitter account

It's strange.
I think as the number of sensible people on twitter declined, it allowed things to become increasingly nasty

Four years ago Jenni sang to her son as he died of one of Queensland's more preventable illnesses Sepsis is the leading cause of preventable deaths in Queensland children, a study has found, occurring at higher rates than youth suicide, road accidents and drownings.

IMPORTANT READ.

"Research like this, that can help medical professionals and parents identify the signs of sepsis … will save lives into the future."

evidently no, creating alt accounts seem to be their hobby

okay I think people mocking the fact I've had brain inflammation for several years is my breaking point with twitter and its toxicity.
