Figure it's worth tweeting out that I'm pretty much done with Twitter. I have no interest in supporting Elon's nonsense on here with my content or my time. Find me on Mastodon if you want (@sjacks26@mastodon.online), or don't. Not like I post a lot anyway!

I am hunting for papers. If you are a post-PhD scholar who presented a paper at the 2021 virtual

conference, your paper is eligible for the A. Leroy Bennett award. The selection committee is *still* soliciting papers. PLEASE send your self-nominations to me.

Just a reminder: if you’ve been accepted into graduate school for the fall to get a PhD, but you were NOT offered full funding and nobody else (rich uncle, lottery winnings, the military) will pay for it, under no circumstances should you go.

Right now, unless you’re sure you will get an academic job, choose your dissertation topic with an eye to the number of marketable skills it will produce. Data viz, focus grouping, interviewing, database management, spreadsheets, Web scraping, whatever.
