One week after our #DefendResearch event with @scholarlysocial.bsky.social, we’re still inspired by the conversations.
As @rouhiroo.bsky.social reminded us: “It’s a privilege to despair… any small thing is powerful.”
Look out for more panellist insights and actions coming soon.

Last night’s #DefendResearch event in Leeds, UK, with @scholarlysocial.bsky.social was a reminder of why in-person conversations matter.
Honest discussions, sharing ideas and insights, all with one main commitment - to protect academic freedom.
With plenty to think about, we’re not stopping here.
