I want to tell you the story of Vivienne Malone-Mayes, Texas-born mathemetician and professor, but I don't think you can understand her journey without talking about the #AcademicRacism in which she existed.

A letter to Chief Justice Roberts that the NYT has had for months accuses Justice Alito of leaking the outcome of the Hobby Lobby decision to anti-abortion donors who dined at his house. Contemporaneous emails corroborate the story; Alito denies it. https://t.co/KoA7q6XN5l

"Is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?" is a fine example of a word-unit palindrome

The Bizzell Memorial Library @OU_Libraries. The great reading room is simply stunning. The perfect place to get some thesis writing done. #darwin #books #phd #libraries

I have sometimes told myself that if only there were a notice on church doors forbidding entry to anyone with an income above a certain figure, and a low one, I would be converted at once.

There is no good reason good can't triumph over evil, if only angels will get organized along the lines of the mafia.

Let us live so that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.

He chose not to talk about his Holocaust experience for 36 years. “I kept these experiences locked up inside,” he said. “But those who are attempting to deny the Holocaust, my suffering and the suffering of millions of others have forced me to speak out.”

Concur has an easy solution for that. Or was it Workday? Whatever, my assistant said it was easy to do when he did it for me.

Being on search committees has confirmed for me how arbitrary success in academia is. Yes, you have to be smart and capable to make it. But you could have been just as smart and just as capable and not made it. Basically, we work our asses off to buy a lottery ticket.

You may have seen this remarkable man before, but this is the first time I've tried restoring his portrait: It is Conrad Heyer, the earliest-born (& verified) human ever to have been photographed. He was born 271 years ago (back in 1749) & photographed here when he was 103.
