@bstacey Also wonder about this for philosophy. What a horrible number reported here.

@bstacey I am now interested in similar data for philosophy. We are often compared to physics on these things as both being low in terms of gender parity.

@bstacey Oh, I like this point a lot!

@jhlee Yeah, it’s unfortunate. I’m used to it because I’ve experienced it for over 20 years but still...I thought we’d have moved past it by now.

@Cyborgneticz Way more fun indeed! For you and the listeners.

@bstacey Sigh. I often don’t go to philosophy conferences and then when I do I wonder if they’ll be better. Sometimes the presentations aren’t like that. But too many still are.

It’s telling that those that are about teaching, at the philosophy conferences, tend to be much better presentation-wise!

Philosophy conference: let me sit and read my paper to you. Maybe I’ll have some slides with most of the text of my paper on them, so small you can’t possibly see it from the back. There won’t be mics in all the rooms so not everyone will be able to hear me or the questions.

Conferences on teaching & learning: [aghast sideways looks]

Me, attending one of each over past few days: moar teaching & learning, please!

@scisus Yes, definitely! Lost my voice for a few days but it’s almost completely back to normal.

@scisus Sorry for my late reply! I haven’t gotten back on here since then. Thank you for giving me an alternative perspective and such an important one. I will definitely keep this in mind for the future. I did stay home for three days until I felt much better and I think was not so contagious anymore.

I will share this point with others who feel they must go into work even when sick.

Nice! a guide on Open Education working groups at higher edu institutions. A work in progress from BCcampus (British Columbia, Canada). Comment using hypothes.is!

Day 3 of being home sick with the flu and missing work. Missed class yesterday, which I almost never do. Feeling really sorry to be missing so much work. But as my partner said, it's actually morally better to stay home and not infect others. Still feel guilty somehow.
