Reviewing research proposals & reminded to scream into the academic void again that filling a “gap” in the literature is often far less interesting or important than critically examining what produced said gap or the perception thereof

[Korie Grayson, PhD (she/her) @teamkorie]

My family doesn’t ask me when I’ll get in a relationship, when I’ll get married, or when I’ll have kids.

Instead they ask me how I am, how is the new job, how is the new city, and when can they come visit. Thankful for their questions.

This new study by @KA_Hamilton2 et al in New Media & Society (https://t.co/Qqf6ryQF9U) is a great conceptual replication and an extension of my original studies on self-endorsing (https://t.co/gb8WCOtlQD). Always nice to see your work being successfully replicated.

Rep. Ocasio-Cortez: "Mr. Yoho mentioned that he has a wife and two daughters. I am two years younger than Mr. Yoho's youngest daughter. I am someone's daughter, too. My father, thankfully, is not alive to see how Mr. Yoho treated his daughter." https://t.co/U2UIEaCljG
