Please see a manuscript through peer review if you can! Adding new reviewers after R&R can be hell for authors.

Worked from a new coffee shop in Ardmore today. Nice vibes for morning meetings and afternoon data cleaning. It was a little on the colder side so I’ll be sure to bring a shawl next time. #CoffeeShopChronicles

6 am school wake up and the first thing my 8 year old son said was, “did the justices win the election? did they keep their seats?” referring to Donohue, Dougherty, and Wecht in PA. He was over the moon about it. “Yay we won!”. Then we had a mini lesson on federal, state, and local government.

Worked on a R&R and mapped out the shell of a fall keynote (I had to submit a description so I was forced to start early) from Vault + Vine in East Falls. Soaked up sun, enjoyed the company of a good friend, and picked up some trinkets. I did not buy plants! #coffeeshopchronicles

Interested applicants for the EFP Editorial team are encouraged to register for a Q&A session tomorrow at 1 PM, hosted by current editors Dr. Li Feng and Dr. Cassandra Hart 📚 aefp.zoom.us/meeting...

Every summer since being at Penn GSE, I get to teach midcareer students in our EdD program. It’s a very intensive two day format (14 hours), and while I’m always exhausted at the end of it, it’s one of my favorite group of students. Such rich dialogue! And now I will hide for 2 whole days lol.
