✨I am excited that my paper with @vgmountford about becoming and being an #entrepreneurship educator was published in Education+Training! emerald.com/insight/conten… #highered #ented

The next MMIRA webinar with Timothy Guetterman and Sergi Fàbregues, Co-Editors of the Journal of Mixed Methods Research, will introduce the journal and provide practical guidance on publishing high-quality mixed methods research. mmira.wildapricot.org/event-6600579

So thankful no video evidence exists for all the stupid things I did back then🤣😂

Scientist at Mount Sinai School of Medicine's Light and Health Research Center says that the new headlight bulbs being used in America are dangerous and causing accidents “He says, older headlights use halogen bulbs which have a softer orange color, but newer ones are bluish white. You're creating a lot of glare for those other drivers” I agree, the new headlights are awful and blind you. They should have never been allowed on the market

For decades, peer review has been treated as the gold standard of scientific validation. Yet many scientists know the reality: the system is far from perfect. Peer review is broken and sometimes even corrupted. The process can be slow, inconsistent, and vulnerable to bias. Reviewers are sometimes asked to judge work outside their true expertise. In other cases, they may be evaluating ideas that challenge the very paradigm in which they were trained. And occasionally, reviewers are simply competitors. Ironically, the most prestigious journals can also be the most conservative. Truly new ideas are often met with skepticism, while safer work that fits the current narrative moves more easily through the system. Increasingly, papers are judged less by the originality of the idea and more by the volume of data, the sophistication of statistics, and the beauty of the figures. Science risks becoming data-rich but idea-poor. But there is an important reality to remember: journals do not ultimately decide the impact of scientific work. Impact is decided later, by the community. By the scientists who read it, test it, debate it, and cite it. In the end, citations and ideas determine the legacy of a paper, not the impact factor of the journal that first published it. Science has always advanced by questioning assumptions. Perhaps it is time we also question the system that filters scientific ideas.

Amsterdam airport is hilarious to watch ppl with an imminent connection get off the plane, look at the transfer board, note the gate & then realise “to make your connecting flight it is a simple 8.5km walk” If you’re not savvy to the Schiphol ways you’ll do some epic running 😂

I had a Q&A session with students & postdocs recorded and uploaded to YouTube recently. You can find more info about postdoc -> faculty transition (and problems) there: youtu.be/YJm9pyb5xwY "Postdocs: Competition, Faculty Positions & Industry (Q&A Session, 2025)"

What You’ll Learn: - What supervisors look for in strong mixed methods PhD designs - Common challenges students face when integrating qualitative and quantitative data - Lessons learned from the doctoral journey - How to successfully defend a mixed methods dissertation

As employability pathways continue to evolve, institutions are being called to strengthen career development systems that better support students’ transitions from education to employment. This session, convened by the Careers and Employability Community of Practice, creates space for learning and peer exchange on how digital infrastructure can enable more integrated, responsive, and effective career services. Participants will explore how the Ribara Employability Infrastructure can support institutions in enhancing student career development, strengthening employer linkages, and informing the design of industry-aligned academic curricula.

Wow. This looks like an amazing project. Scholars at UMichigan have recently collected a massive dataset of over 1.1M podcast transcripts that is largely comprehensive of all English language podcasts. Using this data, they conduct an investigation into the content, structure, and responsiveness of the podcast ecosystem. Check it out!

This online, PhD-level course in the economics of innovation is a huge opportunity. Taught by some of the world's top scholars on this: @heidilwilliams_ @ChadJonesEcon @pierre_azoulay +many others! (Also: me.) Co-sponsored by @IFP It's free. Applications due January 9th! 🧵

Fascinating (& terrifying) article published in Science, on AI-assisted writing of scientific manuscripts. Authors find evidence of: 1) accelerated research output due to LLMs 2) especially true of non-native English speakers 3) a complete reversal in correlation between writing complexity and publishability (!) science.org/doi/abs/10.112…
