time to read:
After a verrry long hiatus* from blogging here, I am back! I am taking on some new roles and priorities that are allowing me to spend more energy on my long-time focus areas of mentoring and advising, especially for students learning how to read, write, and do research. One new effort you will notice here is my academic editing consulting I am now doing alongside my main research and teaching work with UF.
I plan to share my thoughts and expertise here on my lab’s published research, my ideas for change in academia, and academic editing news. Some of the ideas for future posts I am thinking of writing include:
- recent accomplishments of current INIT lab students and alumni
- my philosophy of mentoring and success
- the myriad ways academia is like a toxic relationship
- mentoring is infrastructure
- (inter)national debates and trends in the computing/CHI community
- how to find an editor
- tips for advisors and advisees
- academic editing resources and tips
- common woes in Microsoft Word publishing (and how to fix them!)
- what is the editing process like?
- crafting the perfect abstract
- …and more!
Do you have thoughts or requests for topics? Let me know in the comments, or drop me a line!
Details on new papers and grants will still be posted when available at the INIT Lab blog.
