@kyliesoanes I want to quit and open up a plant shop

Boarding can be a difficult adjustment for some students, but our paper suggests that sleep might not be a contributing factor (if managed appropriately). Very happy to see this honours thesis published!

Mostly just retweeting this so I can brag about being able to eat 1.3kg of pasta in one sitting. I mean, thanks to ASA NEST for the spotlight!

@Ice_Krm1 @unseenacademic1 @MachineEcon But then how is it fair to those on a lower grade who might be able to improve their grade with the final exam? As educators, we set these assessments for a reason. Students know about them for the whole semester. Every student should need to complete every assessment.
