We've had a lot going on in the past few months - so I'm only just getting back to a little writing - here's the most recent blog post: https://t.co/PQqlQ3M9FI

@clauirizarry The best layover of my life (and there have been many!) was in 2009 in LHR where I got a pedicure between an 11 hour flight and my connection. I have no idea how that salon didn't last.

@aliciaandrz Yep, my employer - the place I was hired because I am Dr. Mercier - writes to Mrs. Mercier when asking for donations. I don't open letters addressed to my mother.

@clhubes Give your kids headlamps to wear in the park 😂 nothing but sympathy here too! There are not many options!

@SelfMadeMastery Sleep

@BnJ_BB_H @clhubes And doesn't sleep through the night because they haven't had enough to eat throughout the day and everyone is miserable!

[Emma Mercier @EmmaMMercier]

@DrTeyaR Thanks! I'll definitely be doing something on writing a budget, writing a grant proposal and hiring/firing etc.

I'm teaching our DELTA/ Ed Tech and Learning Sciences Grad seminar this semester - with a focus on things I wish I'd learned in grad school. Any topics you wish had been covered? And volunteers or suggestions for speakers to join us?

[Emma Mercier @EmmaMMercier]

@eileenduffy @LifeinCandyland @clhubes Me too - let it dry and it's easier to sweep/vacuum!

So proud of my former student @LuEMLawrence @DELTAatillinois @edILLINOIS This is a great paper and as with many interdisciplinary studies - took some time to find the right home! Great persistence and research!

First dissertation paper published (4 years later 😋) looking at the accuracy and effectiveness of an orchestration tool and it's impact on teachers' interventions and group interactions!

@sarahradz_ Oh, we got the last 26 days - each starting with a different letter of the alphabet...

New blog post: What's the rush? Are we losing important learning when we rush kids through simple activities? https://t.co/gaaE9kjtCp

[Emma Mercier @EmmaMMercier]

@emilykmay OK, I kind of love this even more :)

[Emma Mercier @EmmaMMercier]

@aliciaandrz Thanks for the reminder to take a break from writing and take a walk!

[Emma Mercier @EmmaMMercier]

@sarahradz_ haha - my kid asks for "fresh water"

[Emma Mercier @EmmaMMercier]

@clhubes At least he isn't walking down the street yelling "it's not nice to throw people" at the top of his voice (like my little charmer recently)

[Emma Mercier @EmmaMMercier]

@LuEMLawrence I'm sorry to hear you're sick!
