Some faculty say, "Well they should tell me what's going on. Then I'll consider giving them an extension." Okay, but would you share with a professor that you were pooping blood? Five professors? Someone who you hope will write you a rec letter? 1/

Just a friendly suggestion for the organizers--it might be better practice in the future to invite *but not require* people to share pronouns during registration. Excited about this!

9 years ago today, I got this paycheck. I was just starting out the semester, and I'd switched to part-time student for a year because there weren't enough hours in the week to keep up with full-time tuition. Some of your students are struggling, too. Be gentle. #AcademicTwitter

This is an incredible thread. That suicidal ideation is a taboo topic is incredibly isolating and harmful. Remember that asking a loved one if they've been thinking about suicide does NOT increase their suicide risk and can help, if you listen and respect their feelings ❤️

Today was my first day at a real paid job working on inclusion in higher ed! It's a dream come true ☺️

The research proposal formula 🔴 X is a problem 🟡 Fixing X helps the world because.... 🟢 Others tried to solve X but failed 🔵 We'll test Y which could solve X because... Works every time #acwri #phdchat

I was asked today about policies for supporting disabled folks to enter and persist in faculty positions. I'm asking relevant professionals and reading up, but also wanted to ask here if anyone was willing to share policies/experiences. Thank you!

Some A+ allyship right here ❤️

And leveraging your privileged identities to disrupt inequality is a valuable way to make meaning out of privilege-guilt ❤️

There's this commonplace argument that college is supposed to prepare students for the "real world," and teaching technical and professional communication really hammers that point. But here's the thing: this is also the real world. Student is really depressed. For real. 4/5

I see so many scientists and supporters deriding others for not "believing science". But we as scientists also need to take some responsibility for the wall we've built between science and the rest of human experience.

Update: it turns out Zotero is quite good at this, and now I can keep a mixed library of both primary lit and non-academic work on a given topic!

Why do some people say “aks” instead of “ask”? It’s not “just their accent” and it sure as hell isn’t a mispronunciation. There’s a linguistic reason and a cultural reason. Let’s quickly look at both:

A moment of silence for the families who have been/ will be affected by Twitter layoffs so that the richest person in the world can maximize profits.

What other platforms is #AcademicTwitter using? There are some communities here I truly love and I want to plan ahead :P

Aaaand the last of my PhD work is published! Now I never want to think about this study again ☺️ authors.elsevier.com/a/1gNHY5DlMxNk…
