Any alternatives to Smart Art in Word? I want to go beyond bullets, text boxes, etc. But Smart Art in Word isn't doing for me. Any suggestions?
Please never, ever, ever say "our study is the first to do X." Likely, you are wrong, especially given lags in publication. Also, what's the value in being first? Better to be right, thorough, and careful.

We can’t resign ourselves to fatalism.
“People won’t wear masks.”
“They won’t get vaccinated.”
“There’s no political will.”
We must keep using our voices holding our electeds accountable. We have not nearly tried everything in the toolbox yet. We can’t give up.
What a pleasure to conduct a lit review for a project! It’s been a few years. Funded opportunities to read and think are few and far between, love them!

Primal screams of “YES!” from demographers. This and pretty much all pandemic data. #poptwitter @OxfordDemSci
Something I try to remember everyday. In the day-to-day hustle of survey research in #aapor world, this message of grace can sometimes be easy to forget. Let’s give each other - coworker, boss, client, supplier - love and peace this year.

Sacrifices must be made
we are sorry
you must cancel your plans
it is not safe
for you to gather
with friends and family
right now.
But keep your shoes on
your shift is starting soon
and your workplace
requires your presence.
You must make sacrifices
and be sacrificed as well.
This is a small indication that the system is broken. When I was in graduate school (15 yrs ago) no one I knew ever worked through break. I feel bummed for graduate students now. Take care of yourselves. I know it’s hard.

Excited to share our paper in @Nature today! We find that two large surveys significantly overestimated COVID vaccine uptake among US adults relative to a benchmark from the CDC. Work with @shirokuriwaki @MichaelIsakov3 @sejDino @XiaoLiMeng1 @flaxter rdcu.be/cCQ4E 🧵1/

So the emails
you meant to write
remain unsent
So your report
that is due
is not finished
So the dishes
remain piled high
in your overflowing sink
So your to do list
remains mostly
undone
You have survived
another week
of the plague
And though
that is not enough
it is enough
Much of this thread resonates with me. Beyond social purposes, is the intellectual value of conferences worth the time, effort, and money? Especially when presenting to 20 people in a ballroom? Some great points here ⬇️
