@LandonSchnabel @prof_mirya @socofthesacred Someone gifted me nutritional yeast for my birthday because of my love of popcorn. It does make up about 1/4 of my dinners...

Trump officially withdrew the United States from the World Health Organization in the middle of a global health crisis.

This move is reckless, short-sighted, and surrenders what was left of America's leadership on the world stage.

In my class, we've been talking about how community spaces-- churches, neighborhood groups-- are often better places for sustaining immigrant food traditions than restaurants.

This Saturday market for Indonesian food vendors is a good example. (1/2)

Got a #cat yesterday, and today I wrote 300 more words on my #dissertation than usual. Should have done this ages ago!

I feel like I'm running interlibrary loan ragged requesting dozens of articles from Ecology of Food and Nutrition. #psulibs please consider adding this journal to Penn State library!

Research coordinators are the real MVPs

[Rachel Bacon @bacon_lady]

@JaneLankes He has a chapter about percentages I think.

[Rachel Bacon @bacon_lady]

@JaneLankes I highly recommend "Damned Lies and Statistics: untangling numbers from the media, politicians, and activists" or "Stat Spotting: Field guide to identifying dubious data". Both books are by Joel Best and are not technical.

Sociologists Junia Howell and James R. Elliott have published multiple studies that find a pattern in who wins and who loses after floods and other #disasters: Rich people get richer after a storm, and poor people get poorer.

"Does degree completion improve non-cognitive skills during early adulthood and adulthood?" is the question that PRI affiliate and @PSUSocCrim alumni answers in his most recent @AdolescenceJ article. Katsuya is now a Sociology Assistant Prof @NAU. https://t.co/z4ojq5Y94U

Just tried to text myself a shopping list, and sent it to some stranger by accident.

I can't remember the last time I bought a pen, but I might need to soon... I have misplaced all the pens I *ahem* 'acquired' at conferences, so there are no pens in the house. Good thing #PAA2019 is coming up soon!

After years of re-writing following rejection, I just got a resubmit with minor revisions at a journal for my Master's thesis manuscript! Will be so glad to compress that folder. I need the space for my dissertation. #phdlife
