There is simultaneously a high school teacher shortage and a glut of PhDs who can't get professor jobs. Why do PhD programs not give an option of getting a Master of Arts in Teaching during the PhD so that people can get teaching jobs instead of burning themselves out adjuncting?

[Catherine D. Tan @Catherineoscopy]

ASA Hotel 4 nights was $1300 with the conference rate discount. This was not the most expensive one.

Why do we keep picking super expensive cities? Why can't we have our conferences in like Atlanta or Cleveland or St. Louis or Raleigh?!

[Dr. Courtney Boen, PhD, MPH @CourtneyBoen]

Finishing up a paper now that—save for some final editing—has been *completely* done (all analyses done, full draft written) since winter break. Last time I opened & edited it: Jan 5

I just haven’t had the brain space

In case you’re wondering how the spring semester went 🙃🙃🙃

Academics: I am an anti-racist ally of the poor and working-class.

Also Academics: If I don’t get a job at an elite R1, I’ll enter industry. To hell with those community colleges and regional schools that disproportionately serve poor folks.

[Anna Schueth, PhD @SchuethAnna]

I didn`t start my academic career until I was 30.
I didn`t obtain my PhD until I was 35.
At 20, I thought my life was over🎗️
At 42, I know it`s just the beginning & I signed the contract for my permanent position (tenure track/ assistant professor).
It is never too late to start.

Check out my recent publication co-authored with @louise_seamster, where we explore the parallels between Bhopal and Flint, revealing how marginalized communities in two seemingly disparate settings can face similar socioenvironmental struggles. https://t.co/nAZb2ryBle
