Based solely on my immediate world, I’d venture to guess that the majority of folks either don’t know what GitHub is and don’t know what is on the other side of the link. I’m one of two in my department whose lab uses GitHub.

Such a deep loss. She was a great contributor to the community. She will be missed

My first thought was …subway???

Agreed! I make so many typos. I hate posting, catching typos, removing post, then reposting. It is a barrier to me more regularly interacting here.

I’m at a SLAC with my own research program and R1 collaborations. My research is niche enough that any well powered result is interesting. But research moves slowly with undergraduates. As a tenured prof, power analyses and research impact drive what projects survive.

Right there with you 🫠

I had done this for about five years (pre and post pandemic). It led to many more absences and multiple days when I would have 1/4 of the students absent for discussion classes with enrollment caps of 12 and 25. I now have stiff penalties but with a generous window.

Yes! And there is so much good YA!

I took all social media off of my phone and left myself only with the kindle app. Now when I pick up my phone I only have kindle as a distraction. That was enough to get me hooked back into reading fiction. I now pair my e-reading with the audiobook to extend my reading to commute times.

It did provide a useful story for my research methods students to emphasize why they shouldn't rely heavily on "as cited in" for their research write ups 😄

We’ve got another cohort of amazing Wellesley students to send Kate’s
way!

Excited to read this preprint! I really enjoyed your interview on the under the cortex podcast on this topic #NotIronic

We accumulate leaves by credit. Six semesters of teaching = one semester of sabbatical.

Love this! Sara makes arroz caldo whenever we’re sick! I’m convinced it is a miracle cure!

Back in the day my chair explicitly provided this as a reason not to accept such invitations—but to also list such declined invitations in my materials for tenure and promotion. You get the honor of the invitations while focusing writing energy on what is perceived to be more impactful work.

Would love to be added!
