So, the UK shut down it's last coal-fired power plant this week. Very proud of the country I live in, for once! 🥂 www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...
It is one of the first countries, and the largest, to phase out coal by relying heavily on wind and solar.
I've had the "have to take an exam" recurring dream. Now, the "I didn't print enough exams for all students" dream is next-level anxiety. Woke up in a puddle of sweat. And I'm on sabbatical...
Arghh. Been followed by a bunch of men who then think it's fine to just slide into DMs for no effing reason. This is worse than Twitter. Got no time. This is mostly about work. Just leave me the eff alone.
I'm not aware of mandatory parity, but I'm sure it's becoming a concern. I've been invited on vivas or equivalent in UK, ITA, GER, DK...
I've done 1 last year, 2 this year, and have already been asked for 2 next year... Maybe more common in Europe with vivas etc?
Where do I learn to ignore emails? I must have missed that class! 🤯🥸
Widening participation something something, so it's actually more focused on outreach to students who otherwise might not think about econ... This one seems already on top of their game.
Thx. I've fwded it to our dept lead for high school outreach to see if we have resources/templates. But this is a good interim reply.
How do you respond? I want to help, but also protect my time...
I don't remember who posted about this recently, maybe on the other site, but I just got an email from a high school student asking for mentorship on a research project, and like it's not my job? Welp.
