Prepping for teaching #AmRevising to grad students. Love this bit from @rachaelcayley.bsky.social's Thriving as a Graduate Writer re "legacy texts." I had my own issue with a paragraph this summer that I'd labored over & polished, but realized no longer fit as the draft developed. Glad I let it go!

I’m looking forward to exploring this title by @rachaelcayley.bsky.social and colleagues #writingtogether #socialwriting #AcWri #connection #community press.umich.edu/Books/W/Writ...

Hi, Vox reporter here: If you've had a study section, NIH travel, or other NIH-related meeting cancelled (or not), raise your hand! Reply or DM me, and repost for visibility if you're able. #academicsky @drugmonkey.bsky.social

If you want to read a new book coming out but don't want to buy it, a great thing you can do is ask your local library to order it. The more requests they get, the more likely they are to acquire it and then lots of people will get to read it who othewise wouldn't.

Love this!

I guess I think about alt text quite a bit because it's part of my day job. I notice it's become a point of tension on Bluesky and hardly a day goes by now when I don't see someone complaining that they've been told off for not including it, or for doing it wrong. I'd say... 🧵

So glad to have been part of this excellent podcast episode about the challenges of thesis writing: www.ualberta.ca/current-stud... Many thanks to Suman Varghese and Robert Desjardins at the University of Alberta for their gracious interviewing and skillful production!

I love @rachaelcayley.bsky.social on paragraphs in academic writing. Her blog Explorations of Style has lots to say about this. Also helpful for senior students or postgrads writing longer pieces - her work on reverse outlines is structural in focus.
