Excited to share that the 1st paper of my dissertation has been published! In this study, we developed and applied the novel JTEV framework in Columbus, OH. Thankful to Jeffrey Bielicki, Jeffrey Jacquet and my PhD advisor @huyentkle.bsky.social

This! 😓
As if reviewing isn’t difficult enough and I owed someone something
Why does Elsevier have to make it so hard for reviewers to request for an extension? I had to beg multiple times via emails and through the editorial manager website to no avail. All emails failed to deliver.
Funny how people without PhDs in the respective fields insist that their pet product is excellent in something they don't even know about.
Something very beautiful and healing to read today:
“How?” I said. “How did you keep from breaking?”
“I broke,” she said. “That is how I kept from breaking.”

Abdirashid's first paper (as the first author)! Proud-advisor moment 🎉
And most research universities won't function/exist. More than half of the grant amounts pays for uni's operations (i.e., overhead). At my (public research) uni, state funding only accounts for <11% of its annual budget. The rest comes from endowment, tuition, and of course overhead from grants.
"In most cities, ~ 80% of the crashes occur on 15-20% of roadways. We can make changes to that number. We don’t have to change 100% of our roadways, but we can be strategic & target these places and immediately see benefits in no longer killing our neighbours." -Kelcie Ralph
Good job Spain! Many studies say marriage is the most influential factor for well-being (not just finance) of children and adults alike, but they omit the fact that most govt's policies are biased toward married couples and biased against unmarried individuals, making the latter struggle even more.

Ha, I've finally figured out how to make a calendar entry from an email in Outlook online (not desktop). Just drag the mail to the calendar icon, and a new window with the calendar will pop out.

@academic-chatter.bsky.social Could you please share? Thanks

Hm, I rarely have to do so. Do you create an event as an item in your to-do-list? there's an app for it, Microsoft To Do.
Also in Outlook mobile app, the date/time in the email will turn into a blue hyperlink. Click on it to create an entry in your calendar.
Phu Yen, Vietnam. Valencia, Spain. Santiago, Chile. Brest or La Rochelle, France. Or somewhere in the Alps. If I need to hop around a lot without much planning, I'd stay somewhere in NL and take the train to other cities.
That’s good to know, thank you!
Quick question on #ebike: does it work at -18oC (0 F)? I’m tempting to bike next week but not sure if I have to pedal x-hard if the battery dies.
