Strong funding for science supports strong economic growth across the nation, increases innovation, and ensures military readiness to protect our nation. @RepLaTurner @JerryMoran@RogerMarshallMD, pass FY24 spending ASAP to keep science afloat.
@AkAstronomy I reach out to every student who isn't keeping up, at least a couple of times. I automate some of that using LMS tools. I also only have around 60 students in any given semester, and maybe 25% need intensive attention.
@AriHunter_ @NSF The NASA post-doc program employs a panel that reviews the reviews. We go through each proposal's reviews, check they are consistent with each other and the proposal content, and toss out either parts or whole reviews with problematic language or clear bias. NSF could do the same
@RandyRoyPatric2@AAS_Publishing Interesting! I've worked with paleontologists and biologists on several projects in the past, mainly focused on astrophysical radiation events causing an increase in surface UV exposure.
Good week for Physics & Astronomy @WashburnUniv - one paper I am a co-author on came out in Astrophysical Journal and is getting some press, and another paper by myself and WU physics alum Alex Yelland was just accepted for publication, also in ApJ
@RandyRoyPatric2 I'm the opposite. There's no way I could spend time flipping through all the journals that are relevant, but every day I scan through hundreds of paper titles/highlights. Plus automatically recommended ones based on my filters. But not saying we should get rid of paper entirely!

@AkAstronomy I also realized two other things: I don't have to implement every good idea and just good enough is sometimes the best approach. Plus ruthless (but strategic) no-saying.
@AkAstronomy Just cancel class. No one will die if the class doesn't meet one day and most involved will be happier, and likely safer. Took me a while to realize that my classes really aren't so important that I can't cancel a day when I need to.
