To attend her son Stephan’s commencement ceremony, Sharonda Wilson was unable to attend her own from Ferris State University. Learning this, Dr. Bob Davies, President Emeritus and Professor contacted FSU President Eisler and was able to confer her degree on behalf of FSU's president and trustees. #cmichgraduation

So many criteria for the outfit to wear under regalia. Must be fancy enough for graduation, have adequate pocket space, buttons so the hood doesn’t droop, cool enough to avoid heatstroke...what else am i missing?

I’m looking at upcoming conferences and trying to see how I can shorten the time away from home. Do people really need week-long academic conferences? Related: So. Manny. Officer. Meetings. Also: Learn to say no.

Somehow I’ve managed 10 years in academia without presenting a poster. That will change in 3 weeks. So academic Twitter, what are your best tips/resources for creating a conference poster?

2/3 of my “reviewers” for a conference paper left no comments whatsoever. WTF? I get that we’re not paid for this, but if you’re not going to actually review the papers, why agree to review?

One of the biggest struggles I have as an #academicmom is keeping my mind focused on the role I’m in at that particular moment. When play legos with my kids my mind on work, and when I’m writing, I’m frequently thinking about what needs to be done at home. Any advice?
