Buckle up and get your reading glasses–this is a long one. Recently someone insinuated that, since I spent my life in academia, I didn’t know anything about working real jobs. (It was phrased in terms of never wearing steel-toed shoes.) So I thought I’d compile a list of all my work experiences in and outContinue reading “List My Work History”

I Left My Heart…
Describe the last difficult “goodbye” you said. For most of the people I’ve said “goodbye” to over the years, it’s really been more of a “see you later.” We mostly still keep in touch, however sporadically, and I’ve lost only a few whom I’ve really cared about.

Over the past decade we’ve seen an amazinglyContinue reading “Social Media: Boon or Bane?”
Cats or Dogs?
Dogs or cats? I often rail against false choices.The pandemic brought a lot of those into the discussion. For example, we were to choose between education and health; children were less susceptible to infection, so we needed to send them to school, and who cares if a few teachers die for the good of theContinue reading “Cats or Dogs?”
Critical Thinking: Now More Than Ever!
As various political movers and shakers at various levels in government work to dismantle both public and higher education, it is clear to me that the skill of critical thinking has never been more important. And the topic for this blog post came to mind when I was reading about the use of ChatGPT, theContinue reading “Critical Thinking: Now More Than Ever!”
