This edited collection looks great! I can’t wait to read it!

This is such an important reminder at the end of this semester.

I had a great time at the AAAs talking about animal ghosts! I was happy to see how many papers were actually about ghosts and spirits rather than just metaphorical ghosts. 2025 has been a great year for ghost conferences. 👻

In about three years the entire university pivot to AI curricula and schools and programs is going to be so deeply embarrassing. We will all pretend it never happened and I will be standing there, looking at people with a mirror in my eyes. This is all so embarrassing.
