      So the news is out. I'm going to be a regular columnist with the New York Times. I started blogging about a decade ago simply because I had things to say, and thought it would be good to have more academic voices in the public sphere. It's been a journey, for sure.https://twitter.com/cliffordlevy/status/1429796257493553162 …

      It's been a genuine honor to write for the Atlantic for years, but especially during the pandemic. I cannot say enough about what an amazing crew they are. As amazing as the new position is, that part is genuinely bittersweet for me. Hard to overstate my respect for them.

      What else? I will pull back from regular newsletters for now. (Newsletter about that coming soon). My substack will soon turn into a free newsletter for a future book—details soon. It's been a very hectic eighteen months, and I want to try to focus on the big lessons a bit, too.

      I am going to remain an academic! This year, I'm at Columbia University but I remain affiliated with the University of North Carolina as well. I've had the most amazing fortune in my academic career. Plus, I greatly value the independence and grounding being an academic provides.

      The only thing I can promise is that I will keep writing what I think, to the best of my ability, as honestly as I can. That freedom is an incredible privilege and a responsibility, and it's why I chose the career path that I did. So here we are.

      To folks asking: no I haven't yet finalized the book title/publisher but am working on it. Hopefully soon. I'm hoping to try to use the pandemic experience, but to talk about broader themes about society, institutions and knowledge.

      So it begins.😁 (Please don't try to find and bother this person! It was friendly. A jest! I just find it funny especially since I'll probably never stop confusing indefinite and definite pronouns etc.—non-native speaker woes).pic.twitter.com/vdsmvr0SJB

          Waited till original tweet was deleted. Still I get wary because things get misunderstood or mis-reacted to so easily.

          More concerned about you keeping your independent perspective than any fussy grammatical/stylistic issues (this is partly how the Times has lost its way…via narcissistic attachment to its own internal culture & positioning.)

          Ugh, I feel you on the indefinite vs definite pronouns. For a Finnish speaker, it's just a foreign concept, so you're never entirely confident on them. Turkish probably has more in common with Finnish grammar-wise, than either of our languages with English 🤔

          Speaking of which: Periods go *inside* parentheses containing complete, stand-alone sentences, never *outside* of them. Good luck blaming *that* on being a non-native speaker.

          Dumb question: does your NYT contract include access to resources to help fact check your pieces similar to what happened with The Atlantic & Yvonne Rolzhausen's fact checking team? You've referenced past NYT pieces being fact checked, but wondering how that works in future..
