@njoybetz @RR_Cotter @PhDVoice @thephdstory @PhDForum I did have an HR department tell me that my "many aliases" made their job difficult when hiring me. That made me feel like a secret agent or a spy, but I don't believe that's reason enough to change your name 😂😜

@njoybetz @RR_Cotter @PhDVoice @thephdstory @PhDForum I changed my name so that I'd have the same last name as my then husband and kids. I made my maiden name my middle name legally. I'm STILL having issues with paperwork and various documentation. I would wholeheartedly recommend keeping your name.

To incentivize participation, they'll give $20 Amazon gift cards to all donors.

Yes! 💯

If I weren't in academia, I would absolutely be applying for all of the library social work jobs.

Since I'm a #Georgia resident now, I'll have the immense pleasure of voting for @staceyabrams.

Democrat Stacey Abrams announced she's running for governor of Georgia in 2022, setting the stage for a possible rematch against current GOP Gov. Brian Kemp, who narrowly beat Abrams in 2018. https://t.co/lFGPsDfLKk

@einterview @AcademicChatter @rellypops Thank you so much for sharing these resources and some of your techniques. I'm always looking for ways to incorporate creativity in the classroom.

[Erin Roark, LMSW, ABD (formerly Murphy) @eroarkmurphy]

@cskrzy @AcademicChatter I love this! I do arts based social work with a focus on unhoused populations in Georgia.

@aykanian Georgia drivers are not. I am still so surprised by this.

New publication alert! Check out my manuscript that highlights Intersectionality & Black girls in the social work curriculum #BlackGirlsMatter While it’s focused on social work, I think there are lots of strategies for other social science curriculums

NOW: FDA advisers endorse Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 5 to 11.

NEXT:

*CDC takes it up for approval and rollout next week.

*Kids could be vaccinated as early as next week.

*Some as young as 6 months are next up for review, experts say likely by year's end.

I have been reviewing a lot of papers and proposals by budding in-depth interview researchers. One thing they all would benefit from taking seriously: Sample size does not matter; what matters is *exposure*. 1/
