Ouch. Here's the AI-generated alt text for this image that appears on my website:
"A man with short dark hair, smiling with slightly crooked teeth, wearing a black suit and a striped tie, against a plain light background."

One of the impressive undergrads in my lab is sticking around for the summer to keep working and learn some new statistics. I thought it would be fun for us to author a piece for Frontiers for Young Minds. Then I saw this. I'm livid. What a joke.

Ummm. Our local collegiate league baseball team sent out an advertising email with this image. What is on that dude's hat? Is that some sort of MAGA hat?! (I'll admit that the kid's Cabela's hat may have encouraged me to jump to conclusions on this.)

Today I'm rolling out a new keynote address that explores the myriad sources of information that can be extracted from eye movements and how eye movements can be weaponized to deceive you. Of course, there'll be a lot of magic in the talk. Check out the intense eyes on this dude.

I feel strongly that higher ed should work not only to educate students, but to contribute to the betterment of their region. Today, Carthage College is hosting an important forum on "Addressing the Housing Crisis in SE Wisconsin." My colleague, Ron Cronovich, is running the show.
