Conclusions are stressful! But it was really fun talking with Dr. Leslie Wang about them. We make an argument for why they matter and provide practical tips for how to write a strong conclusion. #PhDSky #AcademicSky #AcWri #AcademicWriting yourwordsunleashed.com/ep-114-how-t...

In 2026, it's pretty amazing to see the entire internet (or at least the parts I can see) totally united in the same take. I became a US citizen in 2025, and it was American heroes like Dolly Parton that made me feel more excited about that process. Rest in Peace, Dolly. And long live literacy.

The mind boggles. The idea of going from encouraging the use of AI in research in 1 moment, to openly admitting that doing so makes you feel intellectually "useless" in the next... It says a lot about the strange upside-down world humanity seems to have fallen into over the past couple of years.

I have had way too many projects die because I burned through all my energy talking about them rather than working on them. On the flip side, I find that not talking about them at all leaves them feeling inert and less real. So, think I may have to steal this genius idea.
