Emily Dickinson’s Herbarium: A Forgotten Treasure at the Intersection of Science and Poetry
An elegy for time and the mortality of beauty, composed with passionate patience and a sensuous cadence.

How effective have schools’ ICT resources been—not just in building students’ #digitalskills, but also in narrowing digital skill inequalities? Well... I bring good news, a challenge, and a hopeful twist. 🔍 More in our latest article (open access in Computers & Education!): doi.org/10.1016/j.co...

If you are not already aware that the little owl antennae are called “plumicorns” I would like to be the one who shared that information with you.

Trying to understand what past-me was trying to convey through these hastily jotted down notes... and sometimes whole paragraphs??:
Samuel Johnson by Joshua Reynolds (1775)

From Wikipedia: A portrait of Samuel Johnson by Joshua Reynolds showing Johnson pulling a book's cover back and concentrating intensely on its words. It also, Johnson felt, shows his weak eyes.

📢 Fresh off the press at the European Educational Research Journal! Myself, Gerbert Kraaykamp, & Margriet van Hek find that students’ ICT skills translate to greater math performance gains in countries with higher levels of ICT access in educational environments.

“When I see people watching the horrible tragedy that is happening here as if it were a Super Bowl of victimhood, in which you support one team and really don’t care about the other, empathy becomes very, very selective. You see only some pain. You don’t want to see other pain.”

I think this is a really great thread that describes a significant problem and ways to deal with it. My take is that we make mistakes all the time, and we need to correct them, when they occur. Journal editors should make this a priority. My impression is that they generally do not. #sociology

An invite to review arrives a few days after you submitted an article to the same journal, and you start questioning if this will affect your peer review process:

Our paper on digital resources and social inequality in education is now ✨extra official✨ having just got its volume and issue numbers with the European Sociological Review! Open access too: doi.org/10.1093/esr/... Relevant to sociology, education, and media and communications studies, I'd say!

I could not be less surprised by this. I am a data point. I've watched so many (and I mean TOO MANY) of my women colleagues experience the same. Women networks in academia are so fragile because there's never a sense of security or permanence. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Want some examples of how techno-optimism can go wrong? Look no further than The Real World of Technology by Dr. Ursula Franklin. It should be required reading for anyone developing technology (or using it frankly).

Insightful talk “Do I Fit In? Ethnicity and Feelings of Belonging in School” by Sarah Graham, as she receives an honorary doctorate from Radboud University. Prompts thoughts on how belonging and minoritization additionally depends on group size, setting, and normative expectations.
Lecture hall with Sarah Graham standing behind a podium. A slide is projected behind her showing her working conceptual model linking ethnic diversity and school functioning.

Reading through the proofs for a forthcoming paper that was written during lock-downs, being on almost the opposite end of the continent from my family, and dealing with visa woes... Uff. Past-Renae, you did good. You did good.

Congrats! 🎉 Really interesting to see meanings of merit contrasting like this. Might it also be reflected education policy/due to socialisation in school?
