In economics, mentoring Ph.D. students and new doctorates from historically underrepresented minority groups appears to boost their probability of ultimately holding a tenure-track or tenured position.

Had an amazing time visiting Torquay with friends from around the world! One highlight was taking a picture with the Agatha Christie statue-Torquay is her hometown, which was a big reason for our visit. We also explored the historic Kent's Cavern, a fascinating glimpse into Britain’s ancient.

There's a whole field of study on the phonetic cues to depression. Researchers from psychiatry, neurology, computational linguistics, and phonetics all work in this area; no one in sociolinguistics ever has, as far as I know. So I wrote this.

Libraries are one of the most radical social institutions we have, because they’re based on the idea that *everyone* has the right to information, for free. It’s also what makes them crucial to democracy. I will never stop yelling about this!
Poor people use libraries. Rich people shut them down because they don't *want* poor people to read.
