Extraordinary, powerful and heart-wrenching. Active duty Marine Colonel Zach Schmidt, speaking in his personal capacity, about Khalil, an Afghan national whose family helped U.S. forces in Afghanistan. Khalil was deported by the U.S. on Friday to a conflict zone.

AN ACADEMIC JOB! We are hiring for the Wilson E. Schmidt Distinguished Professorship at the Johns Hopkins SAIS campus in Bologna. We are especially interested in those working on international affairs and technology but open to other topics as well. The main downside is having me across the hall.

The relevant heuristic for tone of reviewer reports should be: if you wouldn't be comfortable reading these comments aloud at a workshop/conference with the author present and a room of colleagues, then you shouldn't write them that way in the reviewer report

Under greater pressure, younger cohorts increase the rate at which they publish articles significantly, and do so by placing a higher relative premium on high-impact factor journals (i.e., they don't flood low-impact journals). Since something must give, they publish fewer books and book chapters.
