One of the biggest struggles I have as an #academicmom is keeping my mind focused on the role I’m in at that particular moment. When play legos with my kids my mind on work, and when I’m writing, I’m frequently thinking about what needs to be done at home. Any advice?

2/3 of my “reviewers” for a conference paper left no comments whatsoever. WTF? I get that we’re not paid for this, but if you’re not going to actually review the papers, why agree to review?

It's really a shame that we can't run power plants off Boomer smugness, since it's apparently an inexhaustible resource.

Somehow I’ve managed 10 years in academia without presenting a poster. That will change in 3 weeks. So academic Twitter, what are your best tips/resources for creating a conference poster?

If your kid is soaking wet from the splash pad/hose/peeing themselves, for the love of all that is holy, don’t let them go down the slides on the otherwise dry playground equipment.

I’m looking at upcoming conferences and trying to see how I can shorten the time away from home. Do people really need week-long academic conferences? Related: So. Manny. Officer. Meetings. Also: Learn to say no.

So many criteria for the outfit to wear under regalia. Must be fancy enough for graduation, have adequate pocket space, buttons so the hood doesn’t droop, cool enough to avoid heatstroke...what else am i missing?

Still in bed at 7am on a weekday! I love summer 😊 I hear small feet running towards me, so this may be short lived 😜

Say it with me: “I will not support a single political candidate who does not have a robust plan for gun safety reform!” #stemshooting

To attend her son Stephan’s commencement ceremony, Sharonda Wilson was unable to attend her own from Ferris State University. Learning this, @cmichprez contacted FSU President Eisler and was able to confer her degree on behalf of FSU's president and trustees. #cmichgraduation
