@CKWeatherill I would love that if you're OK with it! Do you still have my email address? If not, I can DM you.

@__queli This is wonderful! Congratulations!

@tonyannett I'm also surprised it's getting so little attention. I would love to be there. I'm running a simulation of it in my class this fall and can't wait to hear what my students come up with...

@uwochancellor @uwoshkosh Dr. Considine is a TREASURE on our campus! 💛🖤 Jaylin, and so many others, are lucky to have her!

@sbmitche My favorite city on earth! Looks like you're having lovely weather to enjoy it, too. Go find the Cafe am Neuen See in the Tiergarten some evening and have a huge slice of strawberry cake and/or a huge beer. It's a delight!

@fordm10 I think about this a lot, too. We need to think about our metrics. Now, you can be a crummy teacher/OK researcher and you'll get tenure. But if you're a stellar teacher and crummy researcher, you won't. What we need to keep butts in seats = consistently high-quality instruction.

@UWOCoachLewis Totally love this response.

@UWOWBB1 A wise man once reminded me that you can never stop recruiting your own players. 😉 (I literally have this on a Post-It in my office.)

@NicolasCS Does this make me a peremptory mom?

@edmartini3 It's such a special group with talent and heart. Thank you and @uwochancellor for everything you and your offices do to support the students, @angsubulwa, and me!

An email response I should automate: "Is this actually a Teams meeting, or are we meeting in person?"

[Dr. Tracy Slagter @Tracy_Slagter]

@paminnyc Yep! You too?

@CuriousTalcat @Victor_Asal @ALPSblog This helped me TODAY, right after I saw it. Live captioning worked brilliantly for a hearing-impaired student. Thank you! I had no idea PPT could do this until this Tweet.

@mayhannahh @meme_ec Oh, I've sent this around widely already! 😂

Teach 1st-year students? Before you forget, message those students who put themselves out there, who did great work, who asked great questions, who made teaching a joy this semester. This goes for ALL students, but it goes a long way with our 1st-years and it takes only minutes.
