Dr. Sherry Zaks: minces garlic, not words. 🏳️‍🌈

How has no one referred to the insurrection as "Guns, Germs, and Steal"????

@laderafrutal Thank you for some excellent stuck-in-the-house-with-COVID reading :)

@TheDapperChef On book covers, do you know this post? duckofminerva.com/2019/08/choosi…

Happy release day to Resilience Beyond Rebellion! I couldn’t be more proud (or relieved) to finally see this in the world. Interested in rebel orgs? Conflict? Organizational theory? Etymological side quests? A weird anecdote about the US navy? Ofc you are! a.co/d/64Tulfh

@laderafrutal This is incredibly kind—I really hope you enjoy it! It was a blast to write and I count myself lucky that I loved the project from the first word to the last

@TheDapperChef I already read the acknowledgements and loved that part! And I promise I am going to love the book. You are doing some things I once imagined doing but never would have pulled off (along with a whole lot of things I’d never have been smart enough to think of doing).

@GerardoMunck thank you so much for ALL of your support along the way! I'm so happy to see this in the world.

@TheDapperChef Sherry, so good to see your first book in print. A big congratulations.

@laderafrutal Thank you! I provided the concept art, but Cornell's designer came up with the figurines and i am in LOVE with them. I cannot wait to make this into a cake (see: MY fascination with academic book covers)

@TheDapperChef Congrats! And I don’t who needs to be reminded of my fascination with academic book covers, but this is a really clever and attention-getting one!

@kareem_carr congratulations, doctor!

Happy to announce I successfully defended my dissertation at Harvard yesterday and I’m now a PhD.

Researcher: "We let the data speak for itself." Earlier that day:

@Fiona_Cunning @aaronbateman22 Ahhhh congratulations!!! Literally when can I come cake your book? 👀

@notEricMin Congratulations! Can’t wait to read! And for the best @StanfordCISAC crossover of all time, let me know if you need a cake of it to celebrate :) I’d cross the 405 for that

I just received an advance copy of my book, Words of War! I am thrilled to hold it. The nice cover is a bonus. The book argues that negotiations are not only used to end wars but also to fight them. Words of War comes out on February 15, 2025. More info: cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/978150177…

i have never seen a “show more” button that i want to click less

@AShesterinina @CornellPress @APSAtweets @aseeestudies Congratulations! such a great book

Interrupting maternity leave momentarily to share that my first book, Mobilizing in Uncertainty: Collective Identities and War in Abkhazia @CornellPress, which was awarded @APSAtweets Charles Taylor Book Award & @ASEEEStudies Davis Center Book Prize, is now out in paperback 🥳 /1

@JaeJaeykim2 So many congratulations and so well-deserved!!!

i just learned today that in the year of our lord two-thousand and twenty-four i still cannot pick up an image and drop it into a Word document.

Come for the dad jokes, stay for the deliberative democracy.

@LizWFab @jvitak was thinking this

Folks who have completed or are currently doing their PhD: If you were to have received a small welcome packet at your desk on Day 1 of your PhD, what would you want it to include? Some ideas: Post-its, a fun pen, highlighters, stapler, candy. What else?

@jvitak Honest reply: (and what I tell all my day 1 first year PhD students) - a pamphlet of metal health resources including how to use their insurance and a brief overview of therapy types - instructions for how to use zotero

@prisonrodeo never has there been a question so deserving a "no." -a political scientist

I hope these stories are every bit as related as their typesetting suggests.
