Question for my fellow scholars: As a female junior prof, I was *strongly* encouraged to be "Dr." or "Prof." Vraga to students. Post-tenure, I'd like to be "Emily" - but does that make it harder for my junior colleagues? What do y'all do?

What an amazing resource for #JOUR3786 #JOUR8661 Over time data - very relevant to discussions of political interest, partisanship, and campaigns.

Perfect fall weather and a peaceful hour at the playground (crazy!!) means I'm ready to discuss Dan Hopkins book "The Increasingly United States" in #Jour8661 on Wednesday. Who's with me?

"During these transition periods, building occupants may experience some discomfort as many buildings cannot respond quickly enough to rapid changes in weather" - yes, can confirm. Brrr!

Depressing but important research; it definitely resonates with my own experiences. And note: research happened during summer months, where academic pressures often ease slightly.

Where to next? Brian Southwell says we need to recognize we are biased towards accepting information, we have reasons to share misinfo, correction is hard, and most regulation is responsive. #BeyondCovid
