I didn't know this! What are your thoughts on using words colloquially as language evolves? For example, if decimate comes to mean something more general in our language, is it OK for journalists to start using it that way?

Let me know if you figure it out. I feel like we've gone from one big party to five little parties and I can't figure out where everyone is!

Thank you so much for reading!

So valuable, thank you!

I heard recently of a grant that asked for letters of recommendation only after a candidate became a finalist, which seemed like it should be standard practice.

@julierehmeyer.bsky.social A lot of people who were at the meeting and wanted to go missed it because it was on a peripheral campus. I'm hoping we can offer a more in-depth training in the future and wonder if we can do something virtually. Stay tuned.

I'm sorry to hear that. If you want to share any feedback, feel free to send a private message. We're talking about doing a more in-depth training in the future but definitely want to do it in a way that's helpful and not harmful. This one brought up a lot for people.
