Our winter break is SO SHORT 😭😭😭😭

Nice. 😝

If I had to read one more paper that has a beautifully designed human experiment and then “ah we also tested chatGPT” 🙃

My reading stack is already overflowing but I guess this goes on it

I started including a beginning of the semester "show up to office hours" assignment so students can come chat without needing an "excuse" and we can talk about what office hours are for.

We're investigating how publishers handle name changes and the barriers scholars face. If you've changed your name (or are considering it) and dealt with updating your academic publications, we want to hear from you. Researchers who have changed their name for any reason, such as gender transition, marriage, divorce, immigration, cultural reasons, or citation formatting issues. Whether you've successfully updated your work, are currently trying, or decided not to because of barriers, your opinion matters. Your input will help us advocate for better, more inclusive policies in academic publishing. It takes around 5-10 minutes to complete. Survey Link: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/E0XXBmZdEP Please share with anyone who might benefit.

Me missing NYC is not rare but the peaks are intense 😅

Once in a while a friend will casually text me something that immediately makes me deeply miss NYC

Why do you attack me so
