Awesome opportunity! Please share broadly!

Why can’t my teams have nice things??? 🥺

Excited to share that our team — Nikki Lobczowski, Jason Harley, & I — received CFI JELF funding ($930k) to build research infrastructure at McGill for testing how technology actually affects learning, emotion, & collaboration.

Using AI for text-to-speech on my bus ride into work just to have it consistently read AI as AL, is a bit more than I can handle today.

First Motivation Monday of the year! We’re kicking things off with a panel on how to run a research lab featuring Drs. @andreicimpian.bsky.social , @nikkilobczowski.bsky.social, Dionne Cross-Francis, and Daeyon Jong. Don’t miss it! Register here: tinyurl.com/MotMondays25...

Me: oh great, more time so I don’t have to rush through my submissions. My ADHD: Awesome! Let’s go ahead and close these and not look at them for another week. 🫠😵‍💫🤦‍♀️

Just saw that #AERA27 is coming back to Canada! Wish it would go a bit farther north but Toronto is great, too. :)

Does anyone have a good Gantt chart (or something similar) for tracking research projects (or a good program with built-in examples)? I have a couple that aren’t quite detailed enough and I figured I would check here before spending too much time creating a new one. Thanks in advance!

It’s that time of year again when I wonder why we don’t just have pride-themed stuff all year. 1) who doesn’t love rainbows? 2) who doesn’t love love? Let’s start celebrating everyone every day rather than one month a year (same for black, women’s, indigenous groups, etc.)

2/5 presenters at every session I attended were absent at AERA2025 due to the unsafe nature of travel for foreign academics. Not offering a hybrid format is failing to recognize reality. AERA cannot be a venue for international scholarship when international schoolers can’t attend without fear.

Really needed to recharge and reconnect and #AERA2025 helped me do just that. 🥰

Excited to see everyone in Denver this week. Check out the awesome work being presented by our lab! New time/location for our symposium featuring work from @jasonmharley.bsky.social @mattbernacki.bsky.social and others with discussants Reinhard Pekrun and @kristinasto.bsky.social. Not to be missed!

In the last week, my first dissertating student passed his defense, my first lab paper was submitted, my sister finished her last chemo, and my students’ proposals for an upcoming grant received positive feedback from outside experts. Heading into reading week with a lot of excitement and gratitude.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

Happy #PiDay to all those who celebrate!!!

Rereading Greene et al 2018 SRL handbook chapter on think alouds and remembering (not that I forgot) what an excellent writer @jeffgreene.bsky.social is (and mentor to his student co-authors). My students are lucky to have this helpful guide…almost as lucky as I was to work with him. Almost. 😉

The 2024 ATL/LS SIG Graduate Student Mentoring Program is accepting applications! All grad student members of either SIG are encouraged to apply! More information and the application can be found here: forms.gle/PzyvZSpnqR54... Hope to see you all in Philly! #AERA2024 (please share!)

Thanks @jeffgreene.bsky.social! One of my proudest academic moments for sure! I’m so proud of this article and love how this episode helps highlights some of my favorite parts! 🥰 It was also great discussing it with my favorite educational psychologist ☺️

Switching my glade plug-in scent to pine tree this morning is making work extra hard today. 😣

Fall Text Mining workshops for the CREATE research lab are complete! You can find the presentation materials here: nikkilobczowski.com/resources. Big shout out and thanks to the LASER Institute for their training, support, and resources!
