- Not that I think anyone missed me but a check in to say multiple professional social media accounts have become too much and for a variety of reasons, LinkedIn is a better solution (even if it gives me the boak), so if you have missed me, please find me there. www.linkedin.com/in/prof-emil...

- It is partly that & have to be more careful with my time but also I just find Bluesky a bit dead and a bit too US-focused and couldn't find a way to change it that didn't require a lot of effort. Not sure no algorithm is the way forward, something between "here's nazi content" and tumbleweed be nice
- If you are someone i have a reasonably personal connection with (and by that I mean we'd happily go to the pub just the two of us), then feel free to add me on Insta or Facebook. But it is all personal nonsense. www.instagram.com/emily.nordma...

- I think it's unhelpful but unfortunately still a very, very common misconception (and the generation it applies to seems to update to "the one after yours") rather than any fixed period.
- Learning technologists - what's the most annoying thing about working with academics/what don't we understand about your job that you wish we did? I am writing a blog for #ALTC25, be as honest as you like 😅
- ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I read this and enjoyed it and then I read a review that said it's designed to be read twice (it's 47 pages) and it's true and was even better the second time. #BookSky
- Did I get obsessed with the Munro #TidyTuesday and go on a @walkhighlands.co.uk deep dive (gratefully with their consent)? Yes. Did I have to migrate my website from Hugo to Quarto to make interactive plots work? Yes. Was it worth it? Yes. Code & more at www.emilynordmann.com/post/2025-08...

View full threadI will make a map of routes that mention woodland and forest 🌲🌲🌲
- I don't think this is helping the Cairngorms case 😅
- Obsession continues w/ requested updates. Analysis by user rating & no of people who have climbed each Munro, non-natural features (bothy, toilet) & the "best" & "worst" Munros. www.emilynordmann.com/post/2025-08... cc: @walkhighlands.co.uk @highlandhorizons.bsky.social @penarthkate.bsky.social
- Glad to be able to share new preprint on how to make supervising dissertation projects more open and efficient with secondary data, open data, and evidence synthesis with Ashley Robertson, @amcreaven.bsky.social, Elayne Ahern, and @katebutton.bsky.social 🔗 osf.io/preprints/ps... #AcademicSky
- This manuscript will be a chapter in the upcoming book "Teaching Open Science" edited by @maddipow.bsky.social and @drcpennington.bsky.social which I am fully delighted to be a part of 🎉

- Unfortunately, I think the rating is encoded as an image (picture of number of stars) and I wasn't able to scrape that info in a way that gave me a number ;/
- ⭐⭐⭐⭐ First Murakami novel, he is a bit weird isn't he. I thought it was excellent but also it took me longer to read than it should given the length so it gets docked a star for not compelling me to read. #BookSky
- ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ridiculous but fun. Should have been 100 pages shorter as usual. #BookSky
- Amazing Tidy Tuesday for the venn diagram of data nerds and baggers - check out the hashtag #tidytuesday for more graphical munro magic. Cc @walkhighlands.co.uk
- Learned a bit of Gaelic for this week's #tidytuesday. There are many names and variations of names for "mountain", "hill", "peak", "point", etc. I used this site to help me classify them: cuhwc.org.uk/resources/me... Code: jessjep.github.io/blog/posts/t... #ggplot2 #dataviz
- Absolutely love this submission for the Munro Tidy Tuesday!

- Love it 😍 We've done 58 as of this weekend - we won't get them all because some are too scary but aiming for 250.

- I have used my real name as my username for many years across almost every platform because it stops me being (too much of) an arsehole on the internet and I decided forced inhibition was worth the risk 😅
- ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ridiculous but fun. Should have been 100 pages shorter as usual. #BookSky
- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful. Written in 2019 but has an extra kick reading about automation in the age of AI. #BookSky
- ⛰️Ben Cruachan & Stob Daimh (#57-58). I was worried about these to point of budgeting time for a panic attack, but like much of life the thought of it was worse than actually doing it. There's a slabby bit that was described in some reports in such a way that it sounded scary but was entirely fine..
- as long as you didn't berserk straight up. The ridge was also not exposed (it is long, so was worried I was in a state for hours) and the walk itself is varied with excellent views (those 1st summit in cloud). Walk report from @walkhighlands.co.uk www.walkhighlands.co.uk/argyll/ben-c...
- Always impressive to read an educational RCT and I'm immediately interested in anything that frames lecture attendance through a lens of self-regulation rather than punitive attendance policies or removing recordings. #AcademicSky bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
- Asking students to complete a volitional help sheet e.g., ‘IF I am tempted to miss a lecture because I have a deadline approaching’ THEN I will remind myself that attending lectures should help me get a higher mark) increased overall attendance rates but also delayed missing any lectures by 2 weeks
- I am very glad I discovered Diablo after I got promoted because I looked up and I had been playing for 4 hours this morning. She is a barbarian berersker because of course she is.
- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful. Written in 2019 but has an extra kick reading about automation in the age of AI. #BookSky
- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was a reread and I enjoyed it a lot more on the 2nd round. I think it's one of those that benefits from reading a review before you go into it. Also, completely batshit. lareviewofbooks.org/article/the-... #BookSky
- At the last UK election I went back-and-forth about whether to vote Labour, I didn't want to risk waking up to a Tory government knowing I'd contributed. But I couldn't stomach the warning signs on LGBTQ rights and voted SNP and the only good thing is knowing I am not responsible for this hellscape.
- I'm not saying the SNP have not had their own issues but at this stage, I contemplate that a Tory government might have been better in that bc Labour have no values, there's a chance they would have opposed systemic transphobia to distinguish from the Tories whereas they have no opposition.
- Planned a munro today but my wife woke up a bit run down but I was in the "I need to see mountains again Gandalf" zone, so with wifely blessing (I didn't just abandon her), I took myself up a couple of Corbetts, The Brack and Cnoc Còinnich. An almost scramble ascent in places and then pathless bits.
- 1st summit in fog but stunning views of the Cobbler at 2nd. Without Kathleen to remind me to take a break I tend to berserk my way up & my legs currently hate me. Last 6k or so on a gravel road, which was quick, if uninspiring. Route from @walkhighlands.co.uk www.walkhighlands.co.uk/lochlomond/t...
- As a life-long obsessive Offspring fan, this was not news but god I living for all the Offspring lyric puns in this thread.
- Very taken by this on supporting education-focused academics through lens of self-determination theory. I've seen 1st-hand the impact giving people some degree autonomy over their workload can have, even if they can't change total, having some say in what it involves is very powerful #AcademicSky

- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Have read none of this other books (I know) I suspect there are layers to this that have passed me by but regardless, this is a wonderful short book on running and Getting Better By Just Keeping Going #BookSky

- The issue is that I can't over exaggerate how much I cannot, will not, and don't want to follow a training plan. I have run up to 18k so far and it's largely just happened, I just don't have the discipline for a full!

- I am constructing a playlist of dance covers to Disney / rock / sea shanty songs that will get me through it.
- I am also easily influenced . This will be my first half marathon, every time I've thought about doing a half I get injured. Will this time be different? Let's find out. What do you mean, how I am reacting to turning 40, it's fine.

- I have never been prouder of myself than when during a ceilidh, assigned as the man, I had to take the hand of the man next to me and instinctively flipped his hand into the submissive position #BigTopEnergy.
- Science/research chums. I am working on a project about replication and am very keen on your feedback. 1/3
- If a journal's InstToAuthors said it accepted "original" research, would you assume that (1) this meant a new study/experiment no one had conducted before? Or (2) 1 and replications because that replication has not been conducted before and is, therefore, original. 2/3

- Just read this on the lack of digital skills, which isn't new but reinforces experience in the classroom & should be a further nail in the coffin to idea that students are "digital natives" means anything other than they have probably grown up near connected devices. futuredotnow.uk/lack-of-digi...
- What was new to me was the full digital skills framework, with foundational skills, life skills, and skills for work which I think are a very useful framework for guiding induction and employability activities and/or for students self-reviewing their own skills. futuredotnow.uk/wp-content/u...
- Hello I am a gay millenial.
- I am pleased to report that for the Nth year in a row, I did not check my emails whilst I was on leave for three weeks, and the world did not end. I do wish that my brain would return to full speed sometime soon though💀
- I am very angry. I'm angry that the most left wing choice of government we have is the most anti-lgbt government since Thatcher. I'm angry at Wes Streeting for killing trans people. I'm angry at Bridget Phillipson for reintroducing Section 28.
- I'm angry at LGBTQ leaders who are not up the to task of this moment. I'm angry at all of you who are nowhere to be seen or heard. I'm angry at everyone who has chosen a children's story over human rights.
- And I'm angry at myself for being too scared to put up Pride flags in my house in case my windows get done in. 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
