1/ My friend Kate disclosed to me that in 1988 she had been raped. We talked at length and I did my best to support her. She had decided to pursue charges and was getting support from friends, health professionals, her lawyer, and the police. #ACandleForKate
2/ She needed a lot of support as the accusation was against the top lawyer in the country. The attorney general, Christian Porter. The pressure on her was immense but she wanted justice. #ACandleForKate
3/ One of the smartest people I’ve ever met, foresaw much of what was to come. The media firestorm. The denials. And attacks. The delegitimising. The gaslighting. Everything. It all came to pass. But what she foresaw, she never ended up seeing. #ACandleForKate
4/ A year ago today, my friend Kate took her own life. Today, people across the country are lighting a candle and sharing a photo of the flame to flood social media in her memory. #ACandleForKate
5/ We’re doing it for Kate and for all the victims of sexual violence who are not heard, not believed, and silenced. #ACandleForKate
6/ A simple candle for a light extinguished too soon. Today, light #ACandleForKate.
#JusticeForKate #IBelieveKate #EnoughIsEnough
7/ Today may be triggering to many.
Be kind and gentle with yourself.

🧵On Wed, I launched The Impactful Academic. I organised a panel re. impact and higher education (feat. @lisagiven @hillandy @kentheknight @lisa_grocott). Generally, panels are boring, so I tried to mix things up. I think/hope it worked. Here are some #Engagement tips for panels.
Preparation: Prepare panellists by providing a few broad questions outlining the scope of the desired conversation. Encourage them not to over-prepare. Planned recitations rarely inspire or connect. Brief them at the event; when they'll be on stage, how long, how to hold mics.
Intros: Giving five panellists two minutes each will eat up 15-20min without getting to the meat of the discussion. People go long. Short and sharp intros from the facilitator are often best. If you want to be really adventurous, have panellists introduce each other.

🧵Yesterday, I found out Judy died. So, a short ode to Judy. In 2007, I bought a single ticket to see @eltonofficial off Craigslist. I'd never done that. I was pretty sure it was a scam. But, the seller offered to drop it off at my house for cash. That person was Judy.
She arrived promptly at the agreed time, 4. She wasn't the person I had in my head. She was in her late 60's. A little frumpy. Wearing jeans and a t-shirt. We started chatting about Elton. She'd seen him before and could no longer go. And then we kept talking.
I was 23, she was approaching 70. My roommate wondered where I'd gone because for two hours I disappeared. Judy and I stood in front of my apartment building navigating from one topic to the next. From Elton to education. From computers to gay marriage.

1/Yesterday, after more than two years, enough clouds had dissipated to see the sky again. Kate’s family, friends, neighbours, mentors and partners gathered from across her life to fondly remember someone who profoundly impacted ours. 🧵
2/Each of us a separate patch of a quilt she never had the opportunity to see together. Over many many hours we told stories, shared memories and cried. It was a sad day but deeply healing.
3/I didn’t know what to expect. Though some of us had chatted, I’d never met Kate’s fierce friends from the late 80s. Unsurprising from former debate champions, their speeches were breathtakingly good. But more impressive was their compassion and care.

Each day for the @LTUresearchers intensive #LTUemcr we have a Zoom background theme. It's a great conversation starter. The theme today is favourite screen partnerships and I went with a classic.
This morning @jod999 of @researchwhisper is discussing, "writing about partnerships and collaborations in grants." I’m so excited for this talk. I see a lot of grant apps and this is something people really struggle to articulate.
Quick update for the breakout room.
