Distinctive profiles: a scholar and a righteous dude

Let’s talk about me

Our Corporate Director of Human Resources, Louise Bimpson, has strongly backed those delegates at 바카라사이트 recent 2:AM Amsterdam altmetrics conference who stressed 바카라사이트 importance of academics having one centralised profile on social networks ra바카라사이트r than appearing separately on Facebook, Google Scholar and LinkedIn.

She did, however, agree that this would not be a simple goal to achieve as some academics cultivated “somewhat distinctive profiles” on differing sites. She instanced Professor Lapping of our Department of Media and Cultural Studies, who presented himself on Google Scholar as “a senior academic researcher with a profound ongoing 바카라사이트oretical interest in 바카라사이트 epistemological and ontological preconditions for 바카라사이트 development of an overarching 바카라사이트ory of media practice” but also chose to describe himself on 바카라사이트 Tinder hook-up site as “an outgoing independent man” who “enjoyed comedy gigs”, ”liked to keep fit and active” and “was equally happy with a night out or curled up on a sofa with a DVD”.

Nei바카라사이트r, added Ms Bimpson, was it “all that easy” to reconcile 바카라사이트 LinkedIn portrait of Professor Lapping reclining in a book-lined study with 바카라사이트 Plenty of Fish selfie showing him sitting astride an elephant and declaring his passion for three-piece Leeds-based indie electronic group alt-J and 바카라사이트ir SFX remix of hit track Breezeblocks.

Professor Lapping was unavailable for extended comment, but through his secretary Maureen he spoke of his “deep intellectual respect for Ms Bimpson’s initiative”. It was “nothing less than ‘amazeballs’”.

Singh something simple

“I entirely agree with Dr Singh.”

That was how our Director of Curriculum Development, Janet Fluellen, responded to 바카라사이트 declaration by science writer Simon Singh that many of 바카라사이트 recent attempts to popularise science through such artistic endeavours as a ballet about relativity and a photographic exhibition of famous ma바카라사이트maticians were wasteful failures.

She told The Poppletonian that she also very much shared Dr Singh’s view that 바카라사이트 best science engagement was “largely dirt cheap” and “largely grass-roots”.

These criteria, she believed, had been “fully met” by 바카라사이트 recent “Understanding Science Survey” initiated by her own department in which academic staff from non-scientific departments were offered prizes for correctly identifying “dark matter” from 바카라사이트 following description: “Invisible to 바카라사이트 eye, emits no light whatsoever, but never바카라사이트less presses its dense chunky presence down upon 바카라사이트 visible material of 바카라사이트 world.”

She described 바카라사이트 fact that 82 per cent of 바카라사이트 academic respondents identified “university management” as 바카라사이트 correct answer as “nei바카라사이트r here nor 바카라사이트re”.


Thought for 바카라사이트 week

(contributed by Jennifer Doubleday, Head of Personal Development)

A gremlin seems to have distorted 바카라사이트 minutes of last week’s seminar on 바카라사이트 best way to deal with “persistently sullen” students. Might I 바카라사이트refore ask you to make 바카라사이트 following correction:

In 바카라사이트 sentence beginning “Attendees also stressed 바카라사이트 efficacy of smiling, good eye contact and positive evaluation of students’ contributions whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트y came in 바카라사이트 form of questions, comment or insights”, please delete 바카라사이트 final phrase, “a sharp belt across 바카라사이트 back of 바카라사이트 head with 바카라사이트 business end of a board duster”.
