AI will free academics from the burden of research so we can focus on the work that matters: cyberbullying each other on social media.

A list of wordy phrases and better shorter substitutes:

Important findings include:
• increased trauma from continued exposure to traumatic scenes/cases
• lack of understanding from patrol officers

As we (Jenn and Jose) are in/nearing the dissertation writing/defense phase, we enjoyed getting to ask Drs. Alward (@lalward3), Orosco (@CarlenaOrosco), and Smith (@WesleyTSmith3) all of our dissertation writing and defense questions today!
Episode coming your way in January!

Girls protested in the streets in the center of Paktia to protest the closing of their schools. Earlier, some girls’ schools above grade 6 in the province had been reopened due to a decision by tribal elders and local educational officials, but the schools were closed again.
