Assistant Professor of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, Yale University. Dad. Husband. Living in a crazy world. https://bsky.app/profile/hajiakbari.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/hajiakbari.bsky.social/post/3lm4irlmws22v#AcademicTwitter Our students don't feel OK these days. They're anywhere between scared and concerned. We held a listening session in our department to hear them out. Everybody needs to do the same. This is the least we can do to show that we care & that we share their concerns.06 Apr 2025 03:26 +0000at://did:plc:273a6t6karkcd4vxfvnobjte/app.bsky.feed.post/3lm4irlmws22vhttps://bsky.app/profile/hajiakbari.bsky.social/post/3lltsqimlcc23This is how to deal with bullying @columbiauniversity.bsky.social not to shamelessly capitulate.
