I was advised that newborn plush toys may better withstand Harrison’s best shredding attempts…🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

Some days you just want to unplug and enjoy a ☕️& 🥯 while reading articles, and taking the time to reflect & think without the noise of emails, meetings etc. Actually finding the time to do that is another matter… #AcademicChatter

Happy National Library Week! 💙📚

If you submit papers please also review papers. If you feel you should be paid to review. I understand that. Then only submit to journals who pay reviewers. #AcademicChatter

African participation in global psychological science Comment by Kevin Durrheim go.nature.com/4toAaYb

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

The Lambie toy lasted 5min with Harry 😂

Turned on NBC. They talked about “President tipping a DoorDash driver $100”. This woman participated in GOP ads before playing other roles. There is no DoorDash deliveries to the Oval Office. Please exercise proper judgement when consuming news.

anyone who says people opposing data centers are just nimbys need to stop echoing industry propaganda and see what it’s actually like to live near one

Dear reviewer, We all hate those pesky reminder emails to submit overdue reviews that are automatically sent by the journal’s system software. BUT if you’re several weeks late, maybe respond or decline reviewing so authors & EiCs aren’t stuck in limbo? #bekind #AcademicChatter

This 👇🏽 is 💯 accurate. The Hubs & Munchkin are pleading that I sign up for singing lessons 😂

Interesting point 🤔

Relaxing with my best boy #dogsofsky

It’s really a surreal experience reviewing manuscripts while simultaneously worrying if the orange lunatic will genocide a whole civilization while the rest of the world just watches….

In honor of Vance's visit to Hungary, where he will campaign for Viktor Orban, I am reposting my article from last year. I argued that Orban's Hungary is one of the poorest countries, and certainly the most corrupt and least free country, in the entire EU. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

Dear scientists please cite work done in other parts of the world on your topic of research when possible. If there isn’t work done elsewhere state this & how it affects our understanding of a disease & whether/how your findings may generalize to the rest of the world #Academicchatter #healthequity

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕

Photo of our home taken by Artemis II. It brought tears to my eyes bc it reminded me that all the chaos & horribleness we see reported in the news daily is happening on this beautiful planet - Earth deserves better from us.

There’s a balance between accepting physical changes, staying young at heart, and keeping purposeful that I think is very challenging w age. This is what I am learning being an occasional caregiver to my mom. 🩷

I dunno if comparing ourselves to the 🇺🇸 to make ourselves feel better is a great strategy…it’s sort of pathetic to me.

Elsie MacGill was the first woman in the world to earn a master’s degree in aeronautical engineering (1929). The "Queen of the Hurricanes" was a pioneering Canadian aircraft designer who led production of the Hawker Hurricane fighter planes during #WWII. She was born #OTD in 1905. #WomenInSTEM

Alice Augusta Ball found the cure for leprosy at 23. She died in a mysterious lab accident at 24. Arthur Dean stole her research, stole it and renamed it from "The Ball Method" to "The Dean Method." It took 90 years before her original research papers were found and she got the credit due to her.

I swear uni admin actually don’t want faculty to do research or training, but instead spend their time filling in useless admin forms & waiting for approvals…. The admin creep is crazy and perplexing as there are also more admin hires…shouldn’t they be doing this work for faculty???

Researchers at the University of Waterloo have developed a tiny, rice sized magnetic robot that can treat kidney stones without surgery. Guided by external magnets, the soft micro robot can travel through the urinary tract and reach the stone directly.

Fascinating new study about men’s friendships. There’s a lot of evidence here that the “male loneliness crisis” is actually a white, wealthy man problem. Other men are building friendships with similar depth to women’s friendships.
