  1. Have to say, the new ASA Career Center is exponentially better than the previous job bank system. No login required to search, nice interface that rivals other job sites, and email alerts that take you straight to the job ad.

    Kudos to whoever got this done!

  2. I use memos a lot in data analysis, but an unintended benefit I only just recognized today is a psychological one.

    Memos feel way more low stakes than adding paragraphs to my dissertation chapter drafts. I'll probably cut and paste today's memo directly into my dissertation, but I wrote it with none of pressure I'd normally feel to "get it right."

  3. Final grades for my summer class submitted today! Any post-teaching recovery ideas? I still have small deadlines but whew it feels good to wrap an intensive daily class. 🙌

  4. Props to the graduate programs that have removed the meaningless rating questions for #RecommendationLetters for #PhD programs! I'm amazed at the programs that have substantially expanded the number of questions that they ask.
