A week ago (on Rachel’s Birthday, to be precise, hence the celebratory drink!) I listened to two really interesting podcasts on facilitation and classroom community, and a webinar on gamification. Here are my summaries!

If anyone is looking for podcast recommendations, these are the two where I listen to almost every episode and it is always worth the invested time! Here are two recent episodes that I loved.

When LLMs were new, a participant in the Inclusive LU course I was teaching did a project where they explored using AI to generate podcasts about scientific articles to make them more accessible to the students. They generated a couple of podcasts on different articles and discussed the quality in terms of correctness but also […]

Just read this (3-page only, so check it out yourself!) article and think that it is super helpful! While we often talk about climate action as either an individual problem OR a structural problem, as behavior change OR technological solutions; in this paper it is clear that we need AND CAN DO all of the […]

In a world where more and more people carry trauma, we need to assume that there are students in all our classes that do, too. How can we make sure to teach in ways that reduce harm, avoid re‑traumatization, and support all learners’ capacity to engage and learn?

I’ve dabbled in this when I was working with science communication, but now in the context of developing our MOOC, I am interested again in how we can utilize micro-opportunities for learning — commute times, waiting in a doctor’s office, even bathroom breaks. There are so many times when people are on their phones and […]

I am sitting on the ferry sailing towards Germany, with new-found appreciation of the Öresund bridge and its harp-style carrying cables… And I am listening to a conversation with Michelle Miller on one of my all-time favorite podcasts, Tea for Teaching, on “teaching from the same side” (what a nice, figurative bridge to the featured […]

This blog post contains the second part of the summary of the Hamann et al. (2025) book on “The Psychology of Collective Climate Action: Building Climate Courage” (summary of Part 1 here), but I want to start out with something I learned in Mel Robin’s podcast this morning, and that is the difference between “stress” […]

I just listened to episode 500 of “Squiggly Careers” on “Why Bringing Your Authentic Self to Work Is Bad Advice“. They explore the concept of “effective authenticity […] where you project a version of yourself that resonates with others whilst maintaining a semblance of genuineness“. This sounds a bit off-putting at first (“a semblance of […]

This morning, on my walk to my dip and back, I listened to Tom Lowe on Talking Learning & Teaching speaking about student attendance.

I’m in my podcast phase again… And still on the Tea for Teaching show! Just listened to an older episode where Anna Logan and Ann Marie Farrell talk about pedagogy for large classes.

It took me a while to appreciate the UDL* framework since I first started looking into it 3 years ago. Without context, it seemed overwhelming in the amount of details that we are supposed to consider when designing teaching. Initially, I tried making sense of all the different facets by finding examples of what they […]

On one of my favourite podcasts, Teaching in Higher Ed, Tricia Bertram Gallant and David Rettinger talk with host Bonni Stachowiak about “teaching for integrity in the age of AI“.

Last night, I watched Gert Biesta on the Talking Teaching podcast (youtube video embedded below, above some wave watching pics! ;-)) and it is giving me language and images to use when talking about the purpose of education.

On a recent walk (and dip, see featured image!), I listened to one of my all-time favourite podcasts, The Teaching in Higher Ed Podcast, where host Bonni Stachowiak discussed with guests Lauren Barbeau and Claudia Cornejo Happel about cultivating critical teaching behaviours. Starting from the assumption that good teaching can be learnt, but that it also […]

I finally managed to listen to Lund University’s “HT samtal” podcast episode on “Teaching sensitive topics“, where Dean Sara Håkansson talks with four teachers from the Humanities & Theology faculty at Lund University. Below, I am summarising the points that stood out to me, unfortunately without acknowledging who made them, because I was so focussed […]

Today I present to you another artefact stemming from my new social media habits (browsing bluesky on the bus to work in the morning, usually finding at least one article that I then read; combined with not posting to Instagram or Facebook any more and instead dumping all my (n)ice pictures directly here on my […]

Some time at the end of last year, I came across something on Marcus Luther’s BlueSky that stuck with me. It was something related to his slow reading of “Becoming an Everyday Changemaker“, and reflections on that and how he applies it to his own teaching. I then ordered the book and followed his podcast […]

Maybe this blog (which, btw, celebrated its 11th anniversary this Wednesday!) is the most visible symptom of the enmeshment of my life and work, how I sometimes feel like I become my work, how my identity is wrapped up in my “adventures in oceanography and teaching”. And another symptom is that I really like to […]

I’m back to listening to podcasts! I don’t know why it goes in such waves, but here we go with some recommendations from what I listened to in the last two days (for more of my favourite podcasts, check out the tag)

In one of my favorite podcasts, Teaching in Higher Ed, I came across and interview with Karen Costa (and I wrote about another interview with her on another one of my favorite podcasts a while back, go check that out!) about articulating our Scope of Practice. And since I am feeling extremely overwhelmed at the […]

Now that we are back to (the new?) normal after the pandemic, it seems that something has changed regarding how student physically attend teaching. Why is that? That’s what Kevin L. Merry and Tom Lowe are exploring on the “Talking Learning and Teaching” podcast.

Sitting on the ferry back to Sweden, I listened to one of my favorite podcasts, “tea for teaching“. The episode was on the role of faculty engagement, specifically showing students that the professor cares, and how three emails can already make a difference!

Yesterday I went on a lovely after-work walk with one of my favorite podcasts (check them out, all highly recommended!), and I want to mention two podcast episodes Iistened to recently, through the lens (mixing my metaphors here, but you get the idea) of how to show students that they matter to us as teachers.

Today was the first time in half a year or so that I listened to a podcast (other than the Academic Imperfectionist, where I make sure to not miss an episode, and, occasionally, the Amazing If Squiggly Careers, which I also find super helpful in navigating my own squiggly career), and I will take that […]

Over the summer, I’ve really gotten into podcasts, mainly to get new perspectives and ideas on university teaching, and also on life in academia. Here are several that I listen to regularly when I’m going for walks and that I can fully recommend! And by “fully recommend” I mean that I listen to all new […]

Thanks to Corona and my minimum of 10k steps a day, I now have a good hour every day that I increasingly often use not to quietly ponder my surroundings or catch up with friends in a phone call, but listen to podcasts. I am very selective about what I want to listen to, but […]

Oh no, it’s already my last Treibholz podcast episode this year! We are looking at ice cubes frozen from fresh and salt water, and are having a lot of fun, as always when we do #KitchenOceanography! Thanks for having me, Ronja & Maxie!

Another episode of the Treibholz podcast (in german) with Ronja, Maxie and myself! We are doing Elin’s favourite experiment (ok, mine too), looking at ice cubes melting in fresh water and salt water. What can we learn from that about the ocean? #KitchenOceanography

On today’s Treibholz podcast (in german), Maxie, Ronja and I are playing with #KitchenOceanography again: this time double-diffusive mixing, specifically salt fingering. We had a lot of fun and discovered a lot about experiments and how they seldomly show what one expected ;)

Check out today’s episode of Treibholz Podcast, where Maxie, Ronja and I talk about the oceanic overturning circulation and #KitchenOceanography (in german), while each of us is doing a similar experiment in her own home. Is podcasting a good format to convey what’s going on with our water, ice and dye? We’ll know soon! :D

Guest posts, take-overs and interviews are a great alternative to maintaining social media channels for every scientist / project / institution individually, if that isn’t what you want to be doing (or — as in my case — a great addition) As I am preparing a workshop on online science communication, I have been thinking […]

Just in case you have not listened to Ronja and Maxie’s podcast Treibholz yet, you definitely should! Ronja and Maxie are learning about oceanography and taking everyone along with them. Educational and entertaining to listen to! And then I also got to be part of it last year, which was great fun! Check out the […]

Last month I got the super exciting opportunity to participate in a podcast! Maxie and Ronja are running the oceanography podcast Treibholz (“driftwood”) and I got to be in it! Very exciting for someone who tends to speak extremely fast and prefers writing over public speaking. But I had a great experience, Maxie and Ronja […]
