Confused writing is usually a symptom of confused thinking. As we struggle to clarify writing, we clarify our thoughts. AI writing aids rob us of that struggle, leaving clean-looking text and thoughts still confused for lack of inspection. Writing is not just a product; it is a diagnostic tool.

Managed to get my poster to Stockholm without leaving it in an airport, which for me is quite an achievement. Come and talk to me about walking over obstacles at oblique angles (or just about the excellence of Swedish cinnamon buns) this afternoon at board 3.096

Great time speaking at MMU’s Institute of Sport this week, sharing some insights into athletic performance and rehabilitation in non-human animals. Had such a fantastic time meeting their lovely team and seeing their awesome facilities. Thanks @kajdaniels.bsky.social for the invite ☺️

Something a bit different for today's MMU Institute of Sport research seminar - thanks very much to @drselfy.bsky.social from Harper-Keele Vet School and Harry Gill from MMU Natural Sciences for sharing their very cool work on athletic performance and movement assessment in horses and dogs πŸ€©πŸ‡πŸ•

I've attempted similar before but always at the end of the lecture - where it doesn't work because everyone's itching to head off. Now you've said it, it seems so obvious that it'd be better placed more in the middle of the session - will definitely try this next semester. Thank you!

This is a really interesting idea. What guidance did you give on question scope - from the feedback comments it looks like they could ask for clarification of the session content or any other query about the general subject/topic?

Hmm, this isn't the case for me (all the top posts on my feed are from the last few hours max) so not sure what's going on there, but maybe just depends on who you follow and how often they post while it's still building up? 😊
