Artist, dog-lover, and avid reader. OK, scratch artist and add teacher and economist.
I def learn about what my students have learned from grading the first 10-20 exams but after that it’s a terrible chore. Thank goodness for TAs! (My classes are 100-300 students)

This book looks fun—I’m slowly making my way through Naomi Novik’s Spinning Silver. Good story, likeable characters, a little spooky, perfect comfort food!

Sci-fi is so much better on book form. Maybe try some audiobooks? Fire Beyond the Deep by Vernor Vinge is one of my faves. And if you want darker more ambitious more complicated than the Expanse, Alasdair Reynolds work is incredible. Start with Chasm City.

I just saw this the other day and loved it. I didn’t find it creepy, but then I was shocked after the fact to hear it described as a “psychological thriller”—and I especially loved the ending!!

Me too! I’ll def be at CTREE in June, though that’s a long way’s off. Hope you’re having a great conference!!

I'm excited and on the road too as long as you define "on the road" as marooned at the Syracuse airport for 8 hours. Sigh.
