On the debate among economists discussing the PhD grand, let me just add the following (remember I am a romantic about this) -- you pursue a PhD not to have a career, but to pursue ideas that you cannot stop thinking about. As you pursue ideas you want to learn more and more about them and what might be wrong with your current understanding so you dig deeper. Your interest might be motivated by events around you, or intriguing ideas you heard or read. As you dig deeper you learn about different ways others have thought about those ideas, so you dig in to what they say and write. Now you are entering a conversational community. That conversational community you learn has its own language and standards of communication and since you want to be part of that conversational community you learn the language and try to meet the standards. But in all of this, it is the IDEAS that drive you, the QUESTIONS you get to ask as you pursue those ideas, the PROBLEMS you wrestle with. Techniques are means to an end of a DEEPER UNDERSTANDING, not an end in themselves. Learn the tools appropriate for the questions and problems you hope to wrestle with because the ideas that captured your imagination in the first place led you down this path. There is a joy of learning and an urgency in science. Remember that always.

@KATrustyFriend Ok just be careful with those archival descriptions. They're probably from the early 1900s and a lot has changed in the field since then

@KATrustyFriend @NickJHiggins @WesleyLHuff Doesn't look like a receipt for sheep. Though I'm sure the library probably has one of those too

@KATrustyFriend @NickJHiggins @WesleyLHuff Sorry. She. Does the tablet have an accession number?

@NickJHiggins @KATrustyFriend @WesleyLHuff This one looks strange. Why is he showing it upside down?
