Tears to laughter whiplash twice for "Princess Chicken Nugget" and the ferocious bobcat. What would we do without dogs?

πŸ“± Do you work in the tech industry? πŸ“±

Do you have knowledge of developing healthcare technologies?

We need 3 people from the tech industry to join our online co-design research as part of my PhD, utilizing smart speakers and automatic speech recognition (ASR) for speech and language therapy.

"Some believe it
is only great power
that can hold evil in
check, but that is not
what I have found. It
is the small everyday
deeds of ordinary folk
that keep the darkness
at bay. Small acts of
kindness and love.'


-J.R.R. Tolkien

Posting this call for help in managing useless but harmful reviews of #qualitative #research.

Rooting for the #Eagles and also somehow for #TaylorSwift. But honestly, I'm mostly here for the #SuperbOwl posts.

Think I'll share this each time a colleague gets damaging feedback from a reviewer who doesn't understand qualitative research.

Aside from John and Jon, I can’t imagine what they are coming up with. But I couldn’t have imagined many of the Laura attempts either!

Keeping my collection of not quite Laura cups together. A little more #sociolinguistics data collection in the wild.

The art you share is a bright spot in my social media experience. As someone with a limited art background, I'm so thankful for the exposure to art/artists.

Listen, thanks for lending us your weather. I promise we all treated it with the absolute reverence it deserved. Just absolute statewide giddiness. And, in Louisiana tradition, we showed it a good time.

Yes, and StoryGraph is what I landed on after it was recommended! I haven't put it to much use yet- my job is getting in the way of reading- but I do like it so far.

πŸ˜‚ In all seriousness, no training has better prepared me for life these days than all those years reading dystopian fiction.

Yes- I would already have a pretty good card going, too! I really appreciated the inclusion of how people handled the feedback. Sent it to every qualitative researcher I know.
