We all love work-from-home Thursdays.

My Sunday morning. This weather is what I live for! #phdlife #goalcrushinginprogress

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony is .4 miles from my apartment, and I can hear the whole concert while I’m out here with journal articles instead of a ticket. Academia: where even your FOMO needs citations. #PhDLife #AcademicFOMO

I’m up this morning at #AAEA2025 with back-to-back sessions at 8:15 & 9:15 in Grampas (MCC) — come hear what the data says about early Algebra placement.
Are we helping kids by pushing them ahead, or just making it harder? Let’s talk.

Year 1: Endless regressions, statistically insignificant sleep, and strong fixed effects. Our logic models held. Our sanity wobbled. Coffee consumption was statistically significant. But this cohort? Still standing (mostly).

Thanks to everyone for the feedback at my #AERA25 roundtable on advanced math & GT access! Your insights were sharper than my regression diagnostics. Grateful for this community. #PhDLife #GiftedEd #DivisionH

Headed to #AERA25 in Denver! If you see someone pacing around talking to themselves about math acceleration, say hi — it’s probably me. #PhDLife #GiftedEd #MathEd

Really enjoyed our book club convo on Career and Family by Claudia Goldin today. Great discussion and solid perspectives. Grateful for the @ua_edreform community that keeps me thinking.

Fellow neurodivergent PhD students—how do you break out of the slump when your brain refuses to cooperate? (2/2)

[Ashley Rieske @mrs_rieske]

Had two incredibly long but productive days, and now I’m a potato. Staring at my computer for hours, accomplishing nothing. Music isn’t right, can’t get comfortable, and the wind is out here setting off car alarms like it’s personally against me. (1/2)

[Ashley Rieske @mrs_rieske]

Excited to deliver this presentation tomorrow at #AGATE2025 Join me at 11:15 to learn about gifted identification.
