Great piece on how publication delays negatively impact careers and the pace of science.

We just had a reviewer ask us why it's taken us so long to publish our data. It was because 2 other journals dragged review out for months and months only to reject it.

Dear editors, your publication delays are damaging our careers
Chia-Hsuan Hsu waited 18 months before chasing an editor for a decision on a paper. The answer surprised him.

Public speaking, particularly in my second language, is certainly not my forte. Yet, I hope this conversation with Reece Granger, host of the podcast "Head First: A Concussion Podcast," encourages people to read sport philosophy and ethics. #PhilSky #PhilSport

Same issue. I began to overanalyze the hours I worked and what counted as actual work, since some of the work we do can't be quantified. Two things that have worked for me (besides Jordan's)
1. Using a tracker for a week to gauge averages in research, teaching, service
2. Working from my office
Lots of support for this practice and tool, and I know it works for many. But, if you have a tendency for compulsive thinking or behavior, this may not be healthy for you. It wasn’t for me. 🧵
I have updated the Academic Workload Tracker for 2025. I strongly encourage all academics to track how long you actually work, and at what tasks. It's a crucial way to counter the deliberate wage-theft of obfuscatory university workload models.

I need this as an oversized sweatshirt, ideally with a hood, so I can wear it with comfy sweatpants and fuzzy socks on "hunker down and just write" days.

#readingSKY #SOR I remember a paper where researcher used a fake alphabet to show synthetic phonics is a better teaching strategy. Does anyone remember this paper? I want my students to practice teaching phonics to each other with a fake alphabet to get a more "authentic" experience (i.e., errors).

Did you know many of the private schools NC Republicans are funneling billions to don't admit students with disabilities?

Public schools desperately need those funds and we accept and support *all* of our students as best we can. #nced #ncpol

can anybody point me in the direction of an assessment to measure expressive and receptive language in English and Gujrati for a 3 year old?

I know it’s a long shot but I’m hoping the power of Bluesky and #speechiesis on my side
