remember when Google offered unlimited digital storage to colleges and universities and then when adoption reached the right levels rescinded that promise, capped everything, and started pricing those services without the subsidies? idk man just something I think about a lot

We're (@katiegreenaway.bsky.social) recruiting a new PhD student to work on interpersonal emotion regulation in everyday life. The position is for a joint PhD program between the University of Melbourne and KU Leuven. Please share! findanexpert.unimelb.edu.au/opportunity/...

<p> Our societies are becoming more socially disconnected. To address this problem, we need to understand how social connection is created. One powerful method to build social connections is interpersonal emotion regulation, which involves the processes through which people seek and offer emotional support. However, people report providing more emotional support than they receive, suggesting that the provision of emotional support is often unnoticed or unsuccessful. This project aims to understand and reduce this misalignment between the perception and provision of emotional support in everyday life. To do this, we investigate these processes in romantic couples, using new dyadic experience-sampling tools to capture both partners’ perspectives in real time. The project consists of three work packages. Work Package 1 will determine whether perception-provision misalignment is most frequently driven by the receiver or the provider, and which type of misalignment is more consequential for emotional and relational outcomes. Work Package 2 will identify the antecedents of perception-provision misalignment, establishing contextual, individual, and couple-level factors to see who is more at risk when. Finally, Work Package 3 will test a brief intervention to reduce misalignment between perception and provision of support. In determining when and why there are gaps between perceived and provided interpersonal emotion regulation, the project will generate practical methods to strengthen everyday social connection. </p>

Last month I explained what *not* to do when someone tells you they are burning out. This issue explaining what you should do instead: Listen, Empathise, Ask, and Do. Learn how to LEAD someone in the direction of recovery! #iopsych #mentalhealth #occupationalhealth mindonthejob.com/blog/2026/03...

@durhameducation.bsky.social A great opportunity for our DU PGT/PGRs to get alone to this workshop on 20th May. Open to staff as well!

I just looked out my office window and it's snowing. In February. Is this normal, Durham? On the plus side, apparently there will be sun tomorrow! I'm trusting that Annie has it right...

Just read in the employee newsletter that the Cali State Univ (CSU)—the largest public uni system in the US—not only plans to continue its OpenAI contract, but "will expand toward a multi-vendor AI environment, giving our campuses greater access to a broader ecosystem of AI tools and capabilities" 😡
