Useful content but audio speed issue
I like the content but the audio speed should be adjusted to avoid making the sound so robotic.

Great topics but very hard to listen
I’m in academia and I love the topics in this podcast, but it is very hard to listen to. The guest usually the one I can’t hear clearly. I need to be in a very quite room to be able to understand.
Please fix it.

Campus Talks: Academic career advice from a university leader, ‘Be curious, be useful, bring evidence’

Q: What does success look like for you in terms of what you're looking for from your own career?

Success is collaborative and impact-driven, not just personal accolades. While individual badges matter, the real measure is enhancing the student experience and making meaningful differences, supported by a team and documented evidence across teaching, policy, and leadership.

Campus Talks: Academic career advice from a university leader, ‘Be curious, be useful, bring evidence’

Q: Could you give me a potted history of your career to date and how you have come up through the ranks of higher education, as it were?

Harriet describes a non-traditional trajectory starting with a PhD in linguistics in Toulouse, followed by research at Oxford, then roles at UCAS and the 1994 group, moving through Bath, Bradford, Portsmouth, Buckingham, and finally SETU. Throughout, she emphasizes building evidence, cross-institutional leadership, and a student-centered approach that reshaped promotion criteria to value teaching and policy work alongside research.

Campus Talks: Backwards course design – from learning outcomes to assessment to activities

Q: What is course design?

Course design is about strategically planning a class around clear learning outcomes, deciding how students will demonstrate learning, and creating activities and assessments that drive internal motivation and meaningful progress, rather than simply covering content.

Campus Talks: Want to think bigger and achieve more? Then collaborate – a leading academic makes the case for collective research

Q: How should academics balance individual ambition with collaboration in such large, interdisciplinary efforts?

Balancing requires clear goals, complementary collaborators, strong communication, and a capable project manager to coordinate meetings across time zones. Open, ongoing dialogue with funders and reviewers who understand interdisciplinary work is essential, as is sharing data to enable reproducibility while recognizing the practical realities of funding and workloads.

Campus Talks: Want to think bigger and achieve more? Then collaborate – a leading academic makes the case for collective research

Q: First, can you tell me a bit about your work on the Human Reference Atlas? What is this project seeking to do and what has it achieved so far?

The Human Reference Atlas aims to map the human body at multiple scales—from protein to cell types to organs—creating a shared framework of standard terminologies and data structures so researchers can compare healthy and diseased tissues across ages, sexes, and populations. It has built an ecosystem of atlasing efforts globally, linked to ontologies, and is expanding to include time (4D) and diverse demographics to support both research and clinical applications.
