We've been overwhelmed with support for our paper calling out incivility in #HIIT academic discourse. Thanks @mackinprof @AbigailMackey1 and many private messengers supporting and endorsing need for academics to say, do, and be better. cdnsciencepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

"When academics acknowledge and honour each other’s humanity, they create an environment where diverse viewpoints are valued, and constructive dialogue can take place." Not only relevant in the HIIT space!

Incivility within the #HIIT academic discourse is forcing people out of the conversation, demoralizing young scientists & stifling innovation. It's time to draw the line between challenging and bullying. @NASPSPA @ISBNPA @ACSMNews news.ok.ubc.ca/2024/09/26/ubc…
