Plan B if academia does not work out is officially to follow in Ali Hazelwood footsteps and write romance novels about demographers. All the men love interests will look like Milo Ventimiglia and have a real non-academic job. I just need a clever pen name.

My new pet peeve is accusing every kind of mistake or imperfection in a peer review memo on AI. As if those mistakes — just like the em dash — never existed in academia before.

Do you also have a thread in your personal/work email that is titled "intrusive thoughts" of random theoretical arguments, solutions to models, and research ideas that popped in your head while doing fun life stuff - or are normal?

Demographers: throw a tantrum if you use generational labels as if you endorsed astrology as science. Also demographers: decide every person w/o kids, incl Dolly Parton (RIP👑), is labeled "childfree" from now on. Stop it! I don't have time to write another paper right now!

Supervisors that allow their students to submit a shitty paper to see what the reviewers have to say instead of doing their job and supervise (or even read the draft!) - should be banned from journals one year per each reviewer whose time they carelessly wasted.

The show focuses on the psychology and sociology aspects (easier to dramatize, I guess), but demography is alive and kicking in the essence of the project.

The Barcelona integration process: Level 1: Tourists clock you as a foreign resident & ask for directions in English. Level 2: Catalan grandmas trust you to grab things for them from the top shelf at the store. No speaking needed. Level 3: Spanish speakers ask you for directions… in Spanish.
