We wrote a letter urging @Penn admin to support and protect our students in their peaceful protest, rather than escalating the situation by calling cops or taking disciplinary action. In less than 24 hours we have 1500 signatures from Penn faculty, staff, students, & alum /1

It’s been a good run but I think it’s time to leave… You can find me cooking up a storm on instagram.

@PrachiSrivas @raulpacheco Def. something about leveraging/understanding AI. How to use tools like ChatGPT but also how to discern when something has been written solely using these kinds of tools (not sure if that’s making sense but it’s related to being critical readers/researchers).

@mariamdurrani Perfect recap of EDUC 514, no? ;-)

@profgabrielle Sorry my friend... but it is the truth. Also, I saw some people recommended air mattresses but they're terrible too. Really, day beds are the way to go... or get two thin mattresses from Ikea that can live under your bed or even a second mattress under a twin. #BeenThereDoneThat.

@FromPhDtoLife This makes it sound like I had multiple husbands but I meant all the spouses of my friends in the program created this group (all were interestingly not academics! Probably why most of us are still happily married - lol).

[Ameena Ghaffar-Kucher @AmeenaGK]

@FromPhDtoLife They founded their own support group: HAGS: Husbands Awaiting Graduation (later became SAGS - Spouses Awaiting Graduation).

Happy with the ending of @tedLasso - exiting on a hight note as they should. W/o question, Rebecca was my favorite character. I was never on the #TedBecca bandwagon so I’m THRILLED with the ending she got👨‍✈️(the backstory to that episode was my favorite this season) #Believe.

[Ameena Ghaffar-Kucher @AmeenaGK]

Legend.

May she rest in peace.

@alexfreidus @remarkablepaper @LibbyApp My kid got a Remarkable as a HS grad present from his uncle and has hardly used it in college... he's finding it pretty overpriced and unremarkable. But he seems to be in a minority here...

Parents whose kids just returned from their first year of college: What is the biggest change you've noticed in your kid or something they've done that has surprised you?

I'll start: My kid now has an @OpenTable account.🤣
