Despite all my efforts, Google Scholar has been unable to track citations to my papers, and, as my h-index matters for promotion and tenure at my current institution, I do not know what else I can do. Any suggestions?

It’s useful to think about things like this in numbers of tenure track professors.

$33M is 358 assistant professors. Or about fourteen percent of the total number of full-time faculty at Michigan State.

Russian prosecutors asking to have Pussy Riot officially declared an "extremist" organization.

You know someone with Long COVID. They need you to ask about it genuinely. - The Sick Times If community-building is a bulwark against autocracy, then asking after one another might be a good place to start.

New piece I wrote for @thesicktimes.org on the need to ask people with Long COVID what they are going through.

Not a psychologist, teacher, or, for that matter university student.

But I think this is happening because the facade of normal daily life during all this is starting to get too heavy to hold up.

It’s time to stop worshipping the liberal arts | Letters Letters: While such institutions have intrinsic value, that doesn’t mean they are entitled to be socially favoured or economically exceptional for ever, says Jianyang Geng

Who, pray tell, is worshipping the liberal arts? Where is the mythical university alluded to here where STEM and business courses are criticized and somehow disincentivized by those in power?
