What a pleasure it was talking with Tim Kail for the @sarahlawrencecollege podcast. He got me to confess to watching Love is Blind, which is the mark of a great interviewer.

Writing an article on caregiving and academia. Are there any academics out there who are caregivers (parental care, elder care, partner care, etc...) who left academia or took a different career path due to caregiving demands and would be interested in talking? Feel free to DM.

Two campuses that mean so much to me, where I have had the supreme fortune of teaching -- UT and Columbia. I don't have words for what is going on, but I believe that these students do and I will continue to listen to them.
