My wife commissioned an artist to depict my PhD journey. There was some creative license taken, but this is largely accurate
New publication!
This is a look at the immediate higher education institutional responses to October 7 and the subsequent war in Israel and Palestine.

I'm collecting stories about campus squirrels. It can be real things that happened, legends, reputations, etc.
I've come across squirrel attacks, squirrel clubs, faculty using robots to scare them, students dressing them up in clothes, squirrel statues, squirrel poisonings...
Livin' the dream. On a work trip, and got a voucher for deferring my flight. On a related note, I need to find ways to kill a few hours in Midway.
This is the most exciting hockey news in a minute. The LA Kings are modernizing their 90s look and the Ducks are (sort of) Mighty again. No eggplant and jade, but it is something. Two of the worst uniform sets in the league get an overhaul
I got a look at both logos and can say this:
🟠 #FlyTogether is a modernized version of the Mighty Ducks logo in orange, black and gold.
⚫️ #GoKingsGo is a modernized version of the Gretzky-era logo in black and silver with a new crown design inside.
Haven’t seen jerseys yet.

Let’s be real: If you want your work to have actual impact (beyond citation count), people beyond the academy need to be able to read it.
If you only want academics to access your work, it’s likely just a vanity project.

Well, tonight I feel like my energy has been drawn entirely out of my body by the job hunt process like salt leeching moisture from a slug
On my current search, I have 111 job applications submitted, 9 of which yielded at least one interview, and thus far no offers.
I'm astounded at how inhumane the process has been. Most positions I never hear back about. Most of the rejection emails are impersonal and nearly identical to each other. A handful have been very pleasant and clearly from actual humans, and I am deeply appreciative of those
If you are interested in the myths and folklore within #HigherEd, consider putting in a proposal for a chapter in our upcoming book!

I thought my commencement speakers were bad. That said, maybe hallucinogens should be required for graduation speech writing

I would like to hear about your squirrels.
What allegedly makes your campus squirrels unique? Are they unusually friendly, aggressive, or large? Are there stories about them?

Analysis Finds Colleges Fumbled Oct. 7 Statements #HigherEd bit.ly/4cUoX9J
A recent study that @jennylee271 and I conducted is covered in today's @insidehighered. We analyzed official statements from 100 universities released after the October 7 attacks and subsequent outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war. #highered #highereducation

"This analysis highlights an alarming lack of understanding or concern for the impacts of October 7 on university community members— students, faculty, and staff—within university leaders’ communications."
