How can we degrow and regenerate academia for hope and justice in times of socio-ecological crises? 🌱 Today, we hosted an open format session as part of the Organization journal Virtual Conference on how to degrow academia. After two inspiring input talks by Clare Kelly ('Doughnut Academia') and Julie Bernard ('Come Walk to the Land With Us'), we collectivley tackled questions of what needs to be degrowing and how we can find alternatives in the current neoliberal university. So, my key learnings for academia were: 1) Rest - Move at a slower pace and the speed of trust: Extend the timelines of reviews and evaluations beyond annual reports to allow for meaningful and deep connections that take time 2) Resist - Micro-resist box-ticking exercises and 'time-eaters' (if you have the privilege to do so) that are not beneficial for you, the research community or larger fights for a socio-ecologically just world 3) Reorient -Go for smaller, local grants and talk to funders to make clear why we need different measures of success, different timelines and different funding instruments for meaningful research 4) Reunite - Join a community and resist together Thank you to all who joined and my amazing team of co-organizers Laura Dobusch, Katharina Kreissl, and Dide van Eck.

Exciting News Hi everyone! We’re thrilled to share our latest video update showcasing the powerful behavioural recognition features of TOMB-AI (short for Tracking Of Movement and Behaviour). This tool makes it incredibly simple to explore your data, recognizing and analyzing multiple behaviours within a single video. For instance, we’ve highlighted how behaviours like full rear and half rear can be categorized and studied seamlessly. But that’s not all! We’re proud to announce an exciting collaboration with the University of Manchester Biological Services Facility (BSF). This partnership is an incredible opportunity to refine our tools and make preclinical animal research more efficient, empowering researchers to gain deeper insights and maximize the value of their work. Stay tuned for our next update!

In a field where precision and efficiency are critical, our no-code pipeline is designed to transform behavioral studies. By automating complex analyses, it helps researchers: - Save costs by optimizing workflows - Reduce time spent on manual observations - Maximize insights from behavioral data We contribute to a future where innovation meets simplicity, empowering scientists to focus on what matters most: groundbreaking discoveries.

Please share. Share you. I’d love to hear your response. I’ve often thought about what my legacy could be. I am insignificant, from the perspective of financial worth, which is the prominent perspective in my home country. Why did I move from one corner of the U.S to another after high school? After rereading posts like this one, I think I may have the answer. At 54, I can honestly say that my legacy is this: Wombat Theory. My core beliefs are my own. It’s my basic programming code, my DNA, my evolutionary sequence identification number- we all get one. Generally, though I am not seen by many as mattering in the world, I often feel most comfortable in secluded settings, I can think and speak without fear or prejudice. And I do often. It’s a liberty that I’ve had most of my life. Except during brainwashing or unconsciousness. Like what would our world look like if we could reduce $$-support of destruction forces (military) and reallocate 50% of that budget to education. As long as it’s a fantasy, what if we did 100%? Is it an impossibility, because evil exists, or is it perhaps because men have had the majority of the power since, human existence? Is this now a manifesto worthy of destructive repercussions? Unfortunately, I wouldn’t be surprised. I have been surrounded by amazing people all of my life. Especially courageous, intelligent, beautiful and funny women. In my personal and in my professional path. It’s a been a glorious existence. I’ve been blessed with a career surrounded by brilliant minds in companies producing world-changing products (illumina, Tandem Diabetes Car and Hologic). Not companies that aid in destruction, but creation. Scientists, producers, thinkers. Renaissance level intellect. And the possibilities that these fantastic thoughts can create! Here’s my favorite thought: What if all nations on the planet were run by women for 10 years? for 1, after 5 years, it would be a lot cleaner!! Why? We’d clean our laws first. Require men to shut up, ignore filling your wallets, and pick stuff up. We are behind in our chores after being in charge for a zillion years. Men would have to listen more. And talk less. Which should be the norm. Just have men listen always. Which is why i-we will end now. Be well. Feedback welcome. I will listen. Author’s note: thank Barney for their absolute grace in sharing Wombat Theory.

As we close out our celebration of NIA’s 50th anniversary, we’d love to hear from all of you about why you chose to be in aging research.

The C-Path team was incredibly humbled to be a part of IgNight ALS last night in Washington, D.C., honoring Steve Gleason and celebrating the release of his new book, A Life Impossible: Living with ALS: Finding Peace and Wisdom Within a Fragile Existence. A heartfelt thank you to Answer ALS for including Critical Path Institute's Klaus Romero, Laura Hopkins, MS, MLS, Michael Minchik, and Thomas H. in this significant event. C-Path’s CEO, Klaus Romero, had the honor of serving on an esteemed panel alongside political strategist James Carville, Microsoft's Fred Humphries, Danielle Carnival, PhD, of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, Farhad Imam from Gates Ventures, Jeffrey Rothstein from Johns Hopkins Medicine and Emily Baxi from Public Health at the Milken Institute. This experience has only strengthened our commitment to end ALS. C-Path remains dedicated to leveraging our public-private partnership model to transform ALS data into actionable scientific solutions, accelerating drug development for the benefit of those living with ALS and their families. We must work TOGETHER and keep pushing forward for treatments and a cure. #CPath #ALS #IgNightALS #SteveGleason #AnswerALS #CriticalPathInstitute #FightALS #ALS #CureALS #IgNightALS #CriticalPathInstitute #AnswerALS #ALSAwarenessMonth #drugdevelopment #datasharing
