Great piece on how publication delays negatively impact careers and the pace of science. We just had a reviewer ask us why it's taken us so long to publish our data. It was because 2 other journals dragged review out for months and months only to reject it. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Dear editors, your publication delays are damaging our careers
Chia-Hsuan Hsu waited 18 months before chasing an editor for a decision on a paper. The answer surprised him.

Public speaking, particularly in my second language, is certainly not my forte. Yet, I hope this conversation with Reece Granger, host of the podcast "Head First: A Concussion Podcast," encourages people to read sport philosophy and ethics. #PhilSky #PhilSport www.buzzsprout.com/2171297/epis...

Same issue. I began to overanalyze the hours I worked and what counted as actual work, since some of the work we do can't be quantified. Two things that have worked for me (besides Jordan's) 1. Using a tracker for a week to gauge averages in research, teaching, service 2. Working from my office

#readingSKY #SOR I remember a paper where researcher used a fake alphabet to show synthetic phonics is a better teaching strategy. Does anyone remember this paper? I want my students to practice teaching phonics to each other with a fake alphabet to get a more "authentic" experience (i.e., errors).
