Published my first solo article and surprise, surprise - it is about water utilities!

TLDR: utilities with higher quality staff are more compliant with the SDWA.

It really is all happening!

I am so excited to officially say I’ll be joining Saint Louis University’s Department of Political Science this fall! A huge thank you to everyone who encouraged me, listened to my job talk, helped me prep for interviews, and more!

[Manny Teodoro @MPTeodoro]

Exciting news for scholars of public admin, water policy, and gender in public management:

Later this year @RobinSaywitz will join the political science faculty @SLU_Official.

[Robin Rose Saywitz @RobinSaywitz]

@emayfarris I've had one. 10/10 would recommend!

[Robin Rose Saywitz @RobinSaywitz]

It's official! Thank you to my committee @MPTeodoro @CookScottJ @robgreer1 and Erik Peterson! And everyone at @tamupols who had to listen to me talk about special districts & city managers the last four years!

[Manny Teodoro @MPTeodoro]

I'm delighted to announce that @RobinSaywitz successfully defended her @tamupols dissertation this morning.

Robin's excellent work analyzes public admin labor markets--with attention to gender & human capital quality.

Congratulations, Dr. Saywitz!

@devon_cantwell I made my own wedding cake and it was pretty easy! I baked the cakes and make the buttercream separately 2-3 weeks ahead of time, froze them, defrosted a day or so before and then iced the cake the day before. Turned out great!

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

With the House passage of SB2408, Illinois is one step closer to a 100% clean energy future.

For years, comprehensive energy legislation that puts consumers and the climate first has been debated while scientists sounded the alarm about the growing impacts of climate change.

@BenjyOgden yes it is - I miss the food there everyday 😭. If you want the best Indian food in the city then you need to make a trip to Rasika though.

The economics of this are mindboggling. A real vaccine card (which has the advantage of preventing you from dying!) is free. A fake one, which exposes you to potential legal liability and doesn't prevent you from dying, costs $400.

@geographyofsam I use Zotero, it has a plug in for Overleaf and also works with Word, you can link PDFs to it, add notes to papers, and its free!

@raulpacheco I use a similar method and I love it. I turned off the email ding and check first thing in the morning, just before lunch, and end of the work day. I also don't have email on my phone. I jot down a list of emails to send during the non-email times rather than opening up email.

This isn't how things are supposed to be.

What we absolutely need right now: Jobs, healthcare, justice, climate action.

What we absolutely don’t: pipelines.

@MunozF_Manuela @LAPSjournal @mpachoncv Congratulations!! That is amazing!
