Earth’s deep secret: why your day isn’t quite 24 hours.

A reflection I heard from someone who recently moved from the military to #cdnpse: “Universities are more hierarchical than the armed forces.” Another terrifying line from a staff person: “I will only confide in my boss, b/c my colleagues would stab me in the back if I show vulnerability.” Yikes!

Yeah, exactly. The piece comes across suggesting that the university community isn’t pulling its weight when the problem lies at the top. Most university presidents I have worked/studied under, were authoritarians who rarely represented the vibrant community of scholars at their institution. #cdnpse

This is 100% correct. We see this in how the political elite & - sadly - too many leaders in #cdnpse talk about the university. Their words don’t align with what is actually happening on the ground. We should be weary about politicians who are comfortable with this practice. #cdnpoli

This is a good summary of @alexusherhesa.bsky.social ‘s post on the “Concordia Revolution.” It contrasts with what I posted yesterday, & reminds me of Ray Ivany’s time at Acadia in the early-2010s, where he had to fix a decade plus of bad Presidential leadership. #cdnpse

UBC Okangan researchers build microscopic DNA “sails” to pull molecules apart.

New tool watches the molecular tug-of-war in biology across hundreds of molecules at once, using equipment many labs already have. news.ok.ubc.ca/2026/09/21/u... #CdnPSE

Turns out I forgot to link to this piece. In sum, it is everyone else’s problem that university presidents cannot build followers. The way Stoicheff depicts the community, & the role of the President, is simplistic & part of the problem. #university #cdnpse - universityaffairs.ca/opinion/it-t...

There is a lot to consider here, but this piece doesn’t delve into the fiduciary responsibility of boards of governors/trustees for this situation. This is a problem. Universities are not fiefdoms of their Presidents. Weak boards must be addressed. www.chronicle.com/article/high... #pse #cdnpse
