I've just finished Reputations by Juan Gabriel Vásquez, and I thought it was good (and terrifying). But fascinating to me to see the divergence among professional reviews, from raves to pans.

A lot of this is good advice for profs in teaching heavy positions too.

I have so much power that I didn't even know about!

I was in a meeting yesterday discussing the work of CONAFE, an agency of the Mexican government that develops education programs to benefit rural populations.

Sergio Cárdenas, Peter A. Holland & I worked with Conafe to evaluate an early childhood program. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
