Making hard choices can actually be liberating because it helps you define who you truly are and demonstrates the power we all have to shape our lives.

[Academic Chatter™ @AcademicChatter]

Most used phrase of my life "sorry about the delay".

@AirealeJoi I so needed to see this. 🙏

@TheDavidGreene @SamHarrisOrg This this this 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻

@tjmijal @SamHarrisOrg He said all that’s needed is a quick google search to see. I was disappointed to hear such a cavalier and irresponsible statement thrown around by him. The data around this issue is complex and it’s presentation is influenced by a culture of white supremacy

[Cara_Worick @Cara_Worick]

@tjmijal @SamHarrisOrg Or just a statistician 🤷‍♀️. The way the data is collected, who is collecting it, what they’re collecting, and how they’re analyzing it all play a role in how it’s interpreted. He did not talk about the complexities of the available data on this issue.

[Cara_Worick @Cara_Worick]

@Zombittack @SamHarrisOrg Thanks for acknowledging this. Also worth reading is Hehman, 2017 article - Disproportionate Use of Lethal Force in Policing Is Associated With Regional Racial Biases of Residents. Insufficient data has been collected by govt agencies to manipulate optics

@MichelaOrnati @AcademicChatter I am not finished yet. I am post-quals and beginning the dissertation phase

[Cara_Worick @Cara_Worick]

@minzlicht Not a course but Paul Silvia's book, How to Write a Lot, was probably one of the best gifts I ever gave myself. https://t.co/Din33ZlRE3

[Cara_Worick @Cara_Worick]

@yin_psyched It’s hard. I’m giving myself one small thing to accomplish each day and being gentle with myself

[Cara_Worick @Cara_Worick]

@mhdksafa Yes

[Cara_Worick @Cara_Worick]

@SaraWells Probably the only reason he is doing this is to avoid having to pay unemployment to these ppl. Also seems fishy that the ppl he said to go back to work are ppl whose work depends on direct contact with others

[Cara_Worick @Cara_Worick]

Relieved to see they didn’t cut salaries for employees making <100k

[Kakie Urch @profkakie]

University of Louisville to furlough employees, cut pay due to coronavirus pandemic https://t.co/VAoXUvXWZ9 via @courierjournal

[Cara_Worick @Cara_Worick]

@DrJMatth Thanks so much! I definitely will

[Cara_Worick @Cara_Worick]

@yin_psyched Insane. Clearly much works still needs to be done to change attitudes and beliefs about the nature of learning and motivation

[Cara_Worick @Cara_Worick]

This! I’ve heard too many convos about maintaining rigor and fears over cheating the past few weeks. When you trust students they rise to the occasion. Pygmalion effect in action

[Jesse Stommel @Jessifer]

Someone asked about alternatives for ensuring "academic integrity." First, I'll say that I'm not a fan of how that phrase has been twisted and used against students. Surveillance software is not a solution. Creating a culture of suspicion does not encourage "academic integrity."

[Cara_Worick @Cara_Worick]

@ErinWestgate @SPSPnews Very cool! I can’t wait to see this work! Such a fascinating area of research

[Cara_Worick @Cara_Worick]

@ErinWestgate @SPSPnews Would be very interested in knowing what lengths people are going to to avoid boredom and avoid sitting with their thoughts and emotions altogether. Similar to Wilson’s experiments but IRL
