Reading, writing, running, science, citation ninja, metrics nerd. I am opinionated; that's no one else's fault. Disclosed: employed at Mary Ann Liebert, publ.

A dear friend of mine makes a distinction between being old (obsolete, ossified, declined), and becoming ancient (wise, enriched, generous with what life has given).

Tulip.
Ancient of days.

@Editage The publisher of the future will be staffed by one person, and one dog. The person is there to feed the dog. The dog is there to make sure the person doesn't interfere with the AI. (Adapted from an ancient joke about factory automation.)

@JenniferARegala BTW - you look great!

[Marie E McVeigh @JopieNet]

@JenniferARegala I refuse to entertain the idea that you have (again) come to my turf and NOT allowed me to meet you somewhere for coffee-chat.

[Marie E McVeigh @JopieNet]

@ernestopriego Oh, that *nevre* happens to me! 🙃

[Marie E McVeigh @JopieNet]

@subbasegirl It's all clear to me now!

@Editage @PeerRevWeek @hmirfanullah @hooHar @Radboud_Uni @LiebertPub Ready as I can be!
Serious shoes, frivolous pumpkin socks.

Do you remember when it was called Twitter? I was reminded that I joined 13 years ago...
I have made awesome contacts here,.some that transferred IRL (@JenniferARegala ), some that haven't had a chance yet (damn geography @FunSizeSuze )

[Marie E McVeigh @JopieNet]

@weequipped Wow...so sorry that happened. And, yeah...I get it. Someone else overriding your choice to tell you who you are.

Plus, WTH? Your wedding dress?! I mean, if you'd sent them a wedding picture, I could sorta see a question coming back ... Still ...autonomy is autonomy...

Random thought
My organization recently did this really generous exercise of hiring a professional photographer to gather an employee Directory. So, pose for pictures, select one from 4 or 5....so far, so good, right?

@cacevedoarg Still waiting to hear back from HR.
I remain optimistic.

[Marie E McVeigh @JopieNet]

I asked HR to use the un-retouched photo for the directory.
I want that autonomy over my appearance. I hope that is respected by the company.
Because I do not know my rights to the pictures - I do not post them here. (6 of n; n=6)

"I'll delete it. I just want to show you the suture so you know what the doc is talking about."
She lifts her chin, gives me a jazz-hands pose and a Hollywood-starlet smile - and says "I'm ready for my close up!" God, she was funny.

The gardening gods are laughing at me.

"So like these types of studies, perhaps we should consider bibliometric analysis to be transient views of our knowledge of the literature at a particular point in time rather than the last word on any subject."
Really interesting look at the growing crop of databases.

@SusanWillner They are quite delicious. 😉

And, the cucumbers have over-delivered, so, all in all, a good summer.
