I teach a field natural history course that’s very analog—a hand-written field journal, hands-on skill sessions, hours in nature each week. This very much tracks. My evals for that class emphasize the class’s impacts on how they think, and their mental health.

Excited to finally share my new paper (w/Raphaël Charron-Chénier) out in BJS! Staying Apart for the Kids looks at how older adults consider preserving family wealth in their new relationships. Drawing on my interviews with mid/late-life daters, we show how accumulated wealth shapes dating decisions.

my totally unsolicited end-of-the-semester advice to junior scholars is to keep the nice notes that students write to you in a safe place so you can reference them when things get tough in the future.

Brevity is an undervalued skill. It takes *work* to identify what is essential and to convey the key points clearly in limited words.

(Tweet/Skeet-type writing is actually great practice for this kind of work).

Part of our writing curriculum in grad school was to summarize the week's departmental seminar in one page or less. We got feedback on every assignment. I set myself the challenge over the year of getting the summary down to one paragraph.
Ask me how much that impacts my current job.
