1/8. This week I had a few different conversations with scholars who, in the face of the attacks on science and institutions of learning in the U.S., are wondering what to do. One suggestion I have is: keep doing your work. It matters in and of itself. Why do I say that? A few reasons.

There are a lot of bad things happening right now, but today I’m celebrating because I’m done with dissertation data collection!

Live look at me trying to write a dissertation

The OSF is available for preservation of datasets that need saving. osf.io Contact [email protected] if you need assistance

Post the amazing science things you have done with federal funding.

Happening now. Protest and celebration come together: Georgians gather in unity, sharing food, laughter, and hope as they welcome the New Year. 🇬🇪🇪🇺

Did you know that you should end your alt text with a period? "End alt text with a period, even if it isn’t a full sentence. The period ensures that the screen reader pauses after reading the alt text." This was a new tip for me. Glad to learn something new! www.nngroup.com/articles/wri...

I’m in the middle of collecting dissertation data, so it was encouraging to see our practice piece on supporting military-connected students in print #TVI #OAndM doi.org/10.56733/TNR...

Call for teachers to participate in online survey: My dissertation student is exploring the experiences of Additional Support Needs (ASN) teachers on using learning strategies in everyday classrooms. Survey takes 30 minutes and is anonymous. uofg.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_.... Thanks. #edusky

A good summary of what’s happening in Georgia 🇬🇪 and why it matters #GeorgiaProtests #AllEyesOnTbilisi

Are you an intersectional faculty member in a higher ed institution? My friend is working on her dissertation and after being strung along on this (she's in Florida), she needs your help and input. It's a survey and you'll get a small thank you for your time and effort. Deets in the flier.

I recently recorded a short video introducing the Revised & Refreshed High-Leverage Practices for Students with Disabilities for CEEDAR. vimeo.com/1031798064.

Took a break from writing to go for a run…& found the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile.

Bluesky academics: 1) a project you’re working on, 2) a question that you’re asking for fun. 1) Peer feedback for itinerant special educators. 2) How do university faculty in special education describe their roles/identity through music? #EduSky
