As the days become shorter, I am appreciating the windows that come with my home office. I might actually get some sunlight this winter!

In a world full of stressors, I am so energized by my undergraduate researchers. They are bringing new life to the projects we collaborate on and continually exceed all my expectations! Thankful.

Words matter. They have consequences. Ask a rhetorician. What we are witnessing in our nation’s capitol is outrageous, disheartening, & is the result of silent complicity in addition to the open calls for insurrection and violence stoked by elected officials #teamrhetoric

Today has shown police don’t need de-escalation training, they choose who to escalate on, that’s not a training issue. Police don’t need unconscious bias training, they are conscious of their bias.

Incredible poetry at the #Inauguration2021 today from Amanda Gorman. "Being American is more than the pride we inherit, it's the past we step into and how we repair it."

Thankful for #ica21 sessions that push how I think and talk about theory and research. Feeling energized from a great virtual conference and stimulating events from ICAOrgCom!

On the brink of receiving destructive paper reviews....constructive conversations such as these give me hope and energy. Thanks, National Communication Association open.spotify.com/episode/4oVuLw…

Love that The Journal of Applied Behavioral Science is turning #research papers into more #accessible animated videos! Check out @sam_wlsn, Barley, Luisa Ruge-Jones, Ph.D. (she/her/hers) , & Poole's animation about how we can benefit from diversity on teams and mitigate its challenges. #appliedresearch youtu.be/96dNr-T0T2s

WE ARE 2021 FALL BRAWL CHAMPIONS!

So excited for #OCMC2021. Love hearing about the transformative research of graduate students in Org. Comm. Thanks University of Kansas for hosting!

Getting ready for National Communication Association #NCA2021 and excited for some new directions in comm., cool scholarship, and reconnecting with friends. Plus, I finally get to do some pleasure reading on the plane - Rebecca F. Kuang's Burning God. See y'all soon!
