Academics should be weirdos
The presence of weirdos is a sign of a healthy, vibrant ecosystem. Too often, the idea of what an “academic” is supposed to look like is far too narrow. But when you embrace your unique identity, you’re not just being true to yourself – you’re contributing something invaluable to your field.
Academic freedom requires cognitive freedom
Academic freedom creates a protected space for you to think about – and talk about – challenging and controversial ideas. But there’s no point in having academic freedom if you spend your life in your inbox. Academic freedom is only possible if you also have cognitive freedom.
The difference between academics and scholars

Scholars engage with society by contextualising and transforming research for a broader public audience. I used to be more of an academic. Now I’m trying to be a better scholar.
