I’m not sure how I feel about #internationaldayofwomenansgirlsinscience this year. The fact that you can go from prize winning scientist to losing your job in 12 months because you were furloughed for childcare and couldn’t apply for grants suggests we need more than just a day.

Asking for an extension is not a sign that a student is lazy or disorganized. It means they want to take the assignment more seriously and give it their all. By denying (reasonable) extensions, we communicate to students that our timelines are more important than their learning.

Wanna cry over something adorable? My colleagues at @ipswich_library have a 102-year-old customer who they've been phoning. She told them about a book her dad used to read to her when she was young. It's not available in eAudio so they've been reading & recording it for her.
