Today is my first university closure day in the UK. I am not supposed to login to email. I am not supposed to do work for the next five days.

So... I just... leave the computer? And go... outside? On a Thursday? In April?

#AcademicChatter #expat

Can't say I'm super proud of the email I sent to a journal editor this morning with the line "The revisions requested were not, in our eyes, substantial enough to warrant subsequent review that has exceeded a human pregnancy", but I haven't had enough caffeine this morning and I'm getting impatient.

If it’s like anything else in psychology, the answer is badly.

(7) SO MANY DOGS #AcademicChatter #ExpatAcademic

(4) my colleagues are incredibly friendly, outspoken, diverse, and easy to connect with; (5) there are more languages spoken on the street here than anywhere else I've ever lived; (6) I've gotten around entirely by bike for the last five days and it's going to do amazing things for my health;

Now that I've been in the UK for two whole weeks: (1) the food here is excellent; (2) the groceries, including pre-prepared foods, produce, and meat are better than anything I ever had in the States; (3) public transportation in even relatively small towns rivals NYC;

Personally, I can't wait to use my Master Röskn as a revolving door to my Coat Bath.

Nope. Aisle and I will flee the burning metal tube of death first.

I am now compelled to use "wet-brains" whenever possible, in as many contexts as possible.

Well, that’s unfortunate.

Just submitted my application for endorsement for the UK Global Talent Visa. Two months until the big move! #AcademicSky #movingabroad

PowerPoint? If so - there’s an option in the upper right hand area of the screen to swap displays.

Some podium setups immediately take the “primary screen” slot on a plugged in laptop.

I feel like some more well-received paper must have done it and now it’s everywhere.

Do you only want folks who are currently in the UK? I’ll be there starting in January from the US. Might have some perspective…

I’m just starting to learn about Quarto and I feel like I’m going to need this in my life.

I believe all the official channels now know, so here’s my big announcement: I’m heading to the University of Reading in January! #AcademicSky UK social psych, stigma folks, and quant people, FIND ME!

I have a sentient stuffed animal in my home.

Straight to my reading list.

I made one for stats papers

Apologizing to a very jet lagged Hugh Laurie at a bbq spot in NC after a girl hounded him for a photo and wouldn’t take no for an answer.

This is how I’ve made my entire career, so, you know, do it.

You’re amazing! Thank you!
