I love this new movement Positive Academia, which suggests to re-imagine our academic values, for example by putting more emphasis on the quality of #research (not the quantity), and to have more attention for positive impact on stakeholders (and not our individual achievements). It is also a strong call for #action because it is up to all of us to transform academia: “No matter who you are, where you are, or what you do in #academia you can contribute.”
