@GabriellePfund @Chops310 That might be the single greatest slide I've ever seen presented. Regardless of context.

Every rush to blame someone (a group of people) for the result of the election is another win for them.

Don't give them anything you don't want to lose of yourself.

[Brett A. Diaz @BrettADiaz]

@GabriellePfund I'm not saying don't have legit and genuine feelings.

I am saying Don't let them grind you down, not yet. You are a positive, constructive, clear-eyed figure for many people. Others take heart from your voice, and will support you with theirs.

@MarioVeen This should be on your linkedin. I would like to re-share it in a place that isn't a black hole (just a gray one).

@MichaelPHuber Thanksgiving.

White meat. Dark meat. All were carved.

@NC_Renic As someone with (apparently) complicated writing ... I can say it is probably not great reader-oriented writing, but also --

I find myself saying all the time abt reviewers, "What if you're just in too big a hurry... learning is hard, sit down and take your time... :("

When I'm feeling down, my self-confidence is shaken - you know the feeling - I turn to my junk folder of predatory invites

There I am greeted as eminent, impressive, a leader in fields s/a nanomaterials, clinical neurology, sustainability, and more

Maybe I can do this after all

[Brett A. Diaz @BrettADiaz]

@OrtegaYecid Good people to talk with. The conversation is usually quite rich.

[Brett A. Diaz @BrettADiaz]

@NathanpmYoung @gershbrain What's the motivation to "push the opposite line a bit" here?

[Brett A. Diaz @BrettADiaz]

@edbaggs While I think this work is almost certainly onto something, it seems a bit light on literature that has previously established this and related territory. Thinking of Deacon, Gibbs, and others in contemporary literature.

[Brett A. Diaz @BrettADiaz]

@GabriellePfund The amount of times I've done this for my own manuscript is, well, ... not 0.

@lingdiscovery My standard answer to "how many languages do you speak?" is "None."

@daisyldixon Wait .... Is this an AI hallucination?

[Brett A. Diaz @BrettADiaz]

@derek_novacek Could you elaborate on what you are thinking about with this comment?

[Brett A. Diaz @BrettADiaz]

@mededdoc You know the X rebrand has gone poorly when the guy behind the X rebrand continues to call it Twitter.

[Brett A. Diaz @BrettADiaz]

@GabriellePfund Please record and release these. For science.

[Brett A. Diaz @BrettADiaz]

@ljuba_pi @CurrentBiology @JR_Hochmann @ISC_MJ @BabyLyon11 Cool research here. There is further work available in indexicality from social anthropology that could help you go further in this too.

e.g., on social referencing by Ochs (1996) and Ochs & Schieffelin (1989).

@javeedsukhera Laugh and eat well and grow strong. And sing.

@daisyldixon FWIW I've usually flow charted most of my publishing strategy. #1 aim for 2-3 topic specific high flyers. #2 check for average response times. #3 pick fastest/most responsive to queries. #4 uh... Profit??

[Brett A. Diaz @BrettADiaz]

@daisyldixon You mentioned rejections in another reply. What reasons are you getting? Your work is fairly niche, I think, granted I work in very different areas. Is there novel/newness penalty in the journals you're aiming at?
