Collegial Connections in a Digital Age

It's fascinating to think about the relationships we have with our colleagues in this digital age compared to how it was in pre-Internet (or at least the Jurassic era of the Internet – the years around 1995 or so).  Back then, you would become colleagues at University but then, it took an extra special effort […]
