It’s days like these that I’m reminded of why I got into scientific writing in the first place. Jenny Offill once told me, “Bring the science to the fiction.” My dissertation chair often tells me, “Stop writing like a scientist.” I suppose I live somewhere in between those two extremes.

So incredibly grateful for this community of scholars I discovered completely by accident. It’s incredible where life can take you when you simply believe in the work you do and live with passion in your bones. Next stop, Toronto. (We are trying to communicate our love for writing/typing) #EdPsych

I recently changed my email signature to remove “Adjunct Instructor | Educational Psychology”, a title I held for the past year with immense pleasure and honor. Though I am not teaching this coming year, I hope my time away from the classroom is short.

A student recommended I watch the documentary Most Likely to Succeed, and I briefly recalled the fact that in high school, I was, in fact, most likely to fall asleep during class.

Taught my first session of an undergrad course this week and it was a pretty surreal experience. Felt like I had been dreaming of that day for so long I didn’t ever think it would actually happen. I keep getting emails addressed as “Professor Shipko.” The reality of it all still hasn’t quite hit me.

My head is still swarming from my AERA 2025 experience. Heading home with the memories of majestic mountains, good friends, and the knowledge that Reinhard Peckrun loved my paper. Bye for now Denver ✌️
