Huomenta!

Siitä vielä Kreikka-Suomi-pelin tuomiota ja ennakkoa Wembleylle. Meinasi vähän epäuskoinen nauru tulla, kun mietimme tapoja, joilla Huuhkajat voi voittaa Englannin.

If you received a #liberalarts education from an outstanding college like @alleghenycol (like I did) you may run into trouble getting your #denklik from @YuksekogretimK. Despite your well-rounded education, your degree may not be recognized. 4/4

[Sheila Christopher @puffchristopher]

It's been 2 years & 7 months since I submitted my application to obtain my undergraduate degree equivalency (#denklik) to @YuksekogretimK in #Türkiye. The application has not moved forward. Without this undergrad equivalency, I cannot get my PhD equivalency or an academic job.1/4

[Sheila Christopher @puffchristopher]

I write this to warn people who reside in #Türkiye and were educated in the USA that you may wait a LONG TIME for your #denklik if you did not go to an Ivy League institution or similar. BTW, my citizenship application only took a year! 3/4

[Sheila Christopher @puffchristopher]

Since I cannot get my #denklik from @YuksekogretimK nor an academic affiliation, I cannot submit grant proposals to study the effects of #forestfires on #ecosystems #soil and #water. Forest fires are increasing in a world where the climate is changing. 2/4

[Sheila Christopher @puffchristopher]

@AskTSA I want to pack an unconventional item. It's a soil sampler that is basically a slide hammer with a round, slightly sharp cup at the end. Will I have a problem with this in checked baggage? Traveling from USA to Turkey.

[Sheila Christopher @puffchristopher]

Back in the field after a long time with @onsekizmartuni biology prof Kemal and students. Looking at soil in the #çanakkalefire area versus control sites. Hope we can continue this work.

[Sheila Christopher @puffchristopher]

Never give up the fight even if you are on the fringe of Academia! Congratulations to these 2 scientists!

@Hertz Also we received 4 tickets! And we don't know if @Hertz will issue us 4 separate administrative fees! We had 2 rentals K51400122E2 and K52128977A9

[Sheila Christopher @puffchristopher]

Beware #tourists in #Italy. #speedingtickets are handed out like water. If you rent a car from @Hertz they do not tell you how to pay a ticket! I called multiple times and got no help!! Simply go to the municipality that gave you the ticket and it should have an online portal.

[Sheila Christopher @puffchristopher]

@Hertz I've already called @hertz located in North America and they told me to call @hertz in Italy. I called both and neither helped or simply stated that all you need to do is pay the tickets at the municipality website from where the ticket was issued.
