Want people to understand your academic work better? Answer these questions in your writing: What are the motivations of this project? (Why do it?) Who are you arguing against? What alternatives are you rejecting and why? What follows if you’re right? These are also good questions for Q&A.

I just heard Peter Latham give a presentation on this terrific African summer school. 2/3rds students from Africa, 1/3rd from Europe/Asia, and the most exceptional faculty on the planet (like their new director, Adrienne Fairhall, just elected into the US National Academy). 🤩

Drawbacks to writing your own course book: you can make mistakes. Upside: a student can let you know they think you’ve made a mistake and you can quickly update it. Thank you to the student who let me know I mixed up a logit and probit link in an ordinal regression demo 🫡
