Thank you for the solidarity, Mirya. So much has become unthinkable in these days; I’ve been consuming every last shred of food because I cry every time I have to throw food out. What a world we live in :(

This paper is a testament to how good advisors can sow confidence which yields productivity. My chairs always believed in me and my work, and nudged me along in just the right ways. They invested in a very non-traditional grad student & I’m so grateful for them.

Also: publication alert! :)

In my first year as an AP, I've struggled to move my dissertation papers to publication. I realize that it's necessary to have a peer accountability group. So I'm gaging interest for a Junior Accountability Group (JAG) here:

Since a lot of #polisci folks are now here: how does one get talk invites ? It's one part of the career that I don't have figured out yet (there are others too, ofc!)

First post on blue sky: tested positive for COVID-19 three days ago. Symptoms (despite paxlovid started on day 4 - I was flying for 22 hours after I tested) are pretty bad. Stay safe everyone!
