“Good leaders combine personal humility, self-knowledge and the ability to learn,” [Mark Carney] wrote in Values. “That means admitting mistakes, seeking and accepting feedback and sharing the lessons. When leaders become overconfident (or turn to writing books) they stop learning.”

It's that darn #learning thing that might bring about anyone's demise ...

“The value of a clinical teacher, not just in the transfer of knowledge, but by co-creating knowledge through interaction, relationships and real-world engagement.” Read our commentary in Medical Education https://asmepublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/medu.70035 #AI #epistemology #HPE #generalpractitioners #learning

“Productive learning is bidirectional.” Yup, can’t really disagree with that one. #teaching #learning #highered #highschool #school

Over 3 years, the Curious Cures in Cambridge Libraries project has conserved, catalogued and digitised 190 manuscripts, containing a staggering 7000+ pages of medieval medical recipes. Now freely available. #Highered #library #books #medicine www.lib.cam.ac.uk/stories/curi...

@kerstinsailer Enjoy Sunbelt!

🚨 New paper alert! 🚨
My wonderful collaborator Julie Zook led on this study of an inpatient unit in a hospital in the US showing how greater levels of visibility in the spatial layout seems to support team communication

@kerstinsailer data collection after a 12 hrs day shift, for three days. You were lucky with your participants. Interesting work.

“Equal Weight for formal and informal learning” is recommended in: Awuku M. Beyond residency: 'The imperative of lifelong learning in medical practice'. Med Teach. 2025 Apr;47(4):748-750. doi: 10.1080/0142159X.2024.2337243. Epub 2024 Apr 15. PMID: 38621295.Needless to say, I can’t agree more. CPD is more than classroom based teaching. #CPD #lifelonglearning #informallearning

@yvanspijk zie Floddertje met Wij eisen ijs 😀 waar aanpassing in spelling tot 1 overbodig kinderhoofdje leidde.

Interviewing healthcare staff and local policymakers across departments has taught me a lot about the politics of health care systems.

Everyone wants to make healthcare better. But some people just want to implement their vision, causing frustration and inefficiency throughout.

I’ve been thinking about how being given the advice ‘do not compare yourself to others’, might be a red herring for inequality, covering up that career paths are not a result of merit alone. Then I stumbled on this commentary, slightly different but same idea. It reframes individual failure: it’s not about you, it’s about organisational culture https://asmepublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/medu.15771 @umcg

@renordquist indeed, shocking

abandoning non-cooperating partners may be enough to drive the evolution of #cooperation

I’m super excited about the upcoming Generosity and Leadership in Higher Education virtual panel event, being held by University of Bath on 25 June, 10-11.00 EDT.

In a time when academia often rewards competition over collaboration, how can we lead with generosity, compassion, and care? Join me and Bath’s Kate Elliott and Professor Davide Mattia as we explore how generous leadership can reshape research culture for the better.

This is a free online event as part of the University of Bath’s Research Culture Month. Register here: https://www.bath.ac.uk/events/generosity-and-leadership-in-higher-education-webinar/

Let’s reimagine what leadership in Higher Ed can look like. #GenerousLeadership #HigherEd #ResearchCulture

Oh, the irony of people using generative AI to "summarise" my papers 🫠

After a busy semester, I’m looking forward to slowing down & thinking intentionally about teaching. Next week, I launch a summer series on critically reflective practice - join me for weekly posts w/resources & a short reflection activity! #highered #facultydevelopment #teaching #criticalreflection #academicchatter @academicchatter https://higheredpraxis.substack.com/p/summer-2025-series-on-crafting-a
