I'm glad it's there to keep you company!

That's a pretty good stack!

I have an advanced copy but haven't had time to tackle it yet -- looking forward to it for sure!

I feel like we're losing the thread on the definition of "extremist" lately.

Exactly. A Phd program certainly gave me time and space to expand these skills and deepen my knowledge of some topics, but it was not solely--or even particularly--responsible for them.

And it's just so snobbish to me (I have now read the piece), because a PhD program is hardly the only place to learn these skills. And the number of times I have found PhD-holding academics marveling at research techniques that I learned in an undergrad journalism program is startling.

The implication that you can only get these skills with a PhD is also a real bummer (although I haven't actually read the whole piece so maybe this is an unfair criticism).

I have a Kobo and I really like it, but I'm not sure how it works with Kindle books
