POV: you’re reviewing a paper that’s well written with a novel idea and great theorizing, and then you get to the methods and realize the authors didn’t actually/appropriately measure the mediating process they theorize about

This semester, I had the opportunity to teach Research Methods to 5 amazing women pursuing PhDs across the college. Our time was filled with learning and laughter! They roasted me for saying β€œin theory” too much so I made them wear matching t-shirts embroidered with β€œin theory” to the final today πŸ’–

Two weeks ago, and about six months after his adoption, we went and visited Cornflake at his new home in Roswell NM and he is thriving! It was so rewarding to see him doing so well in his new home and being cared for by an incredible family. Talk about a character arc 😽🐾 #adoptdontshop #fostercat

Cornflake update! In May, Corny seemed ready for a new family. We weren't sure if that perfect family even existed, but the most incredible couple reached out. They had recently lost their special needs cat who had similar issues to Corny, and their other cat needed a buddy. It was a perfect match😻

As an untenured assistant prof, I include in prep works that either have data or a manuscript (or both). I note the stage and order them from most to least complete e.g., study 2 data collection in progress; writing manuscript; finalizing manuscript for submission to xx journal

When talking about Thorndike’s study on β€œbuying ethics” I ask my students how much money it would take to do various things. I start sillyβ€”how much $$ to eat a 6” worm? Student: 5 bucks! Me [while measuring out at least a foot with my hands]: do you even know how long six inches is!?!?

I taught about justice perceptions at work today so I asked my students to tell me about something unfair that happened to them. One student yelled out, full chested, β€œI got a DWI!” Gotta love the honesty? πŸ™ƒ

My foster cat, Cornflake, has Eosinophilic Granuloma Complex which is a skin condition caused by severe allergies. So, I dress him in
tshirts to keep him from scratching and biting his skin. Over time he shreds them because of biting and scratching so he goes through about 3 shirts/month πŸ±πŸ‘š

Francesca v Harvard A response to, and examination of, the allegations against Francesca Gino by Harvard and Data Colada. Accused of fraud and falsifying data, there is no evidence to prove this and there are many hole...

Francesca Gino has published a website rebutting each of the Data Colada posts and allegations, explaining the procedures Harvard used to investigate her, and explaining why she chose to sue. The plot thickens, indeed. www.francesca-v-harvard.org

Howdy #AcademicSky! I’m Lauren, an Assistant Professor of Management (org behavior) at Texas Tech. I research interpersonal relationships at work and how those are impacted by gratitude and appreciation. I tweet about gratitude, academia, and my adventures in #TNR and fostering cats!
