Twitter is the worst and my anxiety surrounding social media is always pretty high, but this is the one of the best ways I can engage with my colleagues and support/promote anti-racist scholarship. So don't be offended if I don't follow you back.

@MusicPerception @willmasonmusic Yep! And the hook drops at 0:16, so if you ever see 0:16 in meme format it basically means “this is epic” or is going to be epic or, more commonly, is being ironic about how (not) epic something is

@theorymeg @prof_ajchung I have a clause in my syllabus that explicitly addresses this: there are trained professionals who can help you and I’m just a music theorist who gets anxious when he drinks too much coffee.

@jasongreen @brynmdhughes yeah normally a research assistant would be coaching you through the first step, sorry about that!

@chrisbrodyMT @eklorman @Komaniecki_R I just thought upstate NY was the Midwest of NY, not the actual Midwest.

To be clear, I'm asking because 1) I'm not an artist, 2) white or translucent hands are usually used to when demonstrating hands interacting w/an object, and 3) I don't want to go grey and wind up with a Greendale Human Beings situation. No luck yet with stock images.

Anyone know of any resources for representing or drawing Black hands for figures in (presumably) greyscale-printed academic journals? I'm writing an article on fretboard gestures and it is critical that I do not whitewash the Black hands that made the music being analyzed.

@danielnnz busy day avoiding twitter here 😂 but I definitely laughed out loud at this one

Such an accessible and in-depth exploration of timbre that I asked LR if I could share it with my grad class last semester. It did not disappoint. Read this if you’re remotely interested in understanding instrument timbres!

[Lindsey Reymore @LindseyReymore]

Exceptionally excited this morning to share my fresh-off-the-virtual-presses article, "Characterizing prototypical musical instrument timbres with Timbre Trait Profiles," open access in Musicae Scientiae!!! #musicscience #timbre #openscience

@abberrantly Omg it’s perfect for Buck Buck

Today I recalled that while a grad student at UMass I used to drive the 1.2k mile, almost 24-hour trip straight through from MA to Missouri by myself at least twice a year, if not more, with my kayak strapped to the roof of my shitty station wagon. Who was that person?

@dizzyfingers42 *really cool web apps

[Jaclyn A. Siegel, PhD @jacasiegel]

Devastated to learn that if you are awarded grant money, you must actually complete the studies you proposed.

[Nicholas Shea @shdocea]

@BurnsChelsea1 @willmasonmusic Here it is! Just processed and posted: https://t.co/gqmezRo4I9

[Nicholas Shea @shdocea]

Hopefully everyone with concerns got a chance to watch! The Q&A is also being recorded. As someone who actively tries to do anti-racist corpus and cognition studies, I found Justin's lecture provided a sound methodological foundation for addressing pervasive biases.

Today's gender is love and the sound of an orchestra tuning.

If you have ever typed lmer() into your #rstats console, this is going to be a very, very helpful resource.

Simulations are the future (of stats education).

Spent all morning prepping the ASU Music Cognition Lab to run experiments again! Super excited to kickstart our studies on the perception of time/timelessness (w/Kristina Knowles) and cross-style meter-harmony interactions (@chriswmwhite @DV_PhD @brynmdhughes).
