@robably__ Additionally, networks and resources can be found without a university, often through local, community-based groups (analog or digital) rooted in collaboration. Everybody has different preferences!

@robably__ I worked in web design independently for the last 6 years and just barely started a master of design program for graduate school. I think people are capable of being *self directed learners*. Tuition just buys you networks and resources on top of implicit motivation.

No you don’t NEED design school. But people have been saying that long enough now that if you do go to design school that’s a big advantage in this industry.

just studied in silence for the last 2 hours, is this a new era of my workflow?

“When will I use this in the real world?” is asked on behalf of an unraveling educational architecture. At a student’s fingertips is radical autonomy in advocacy of the learner and system. Seeking self-actualization in the mundane permeates the tangibility of abstracted identity.

I’m hearing more and more from PhD students and postdocs (and tenured Professors) about their interest in starting podcasts as an offshoot and/or alternative to their other career trajectories. Indeed, “Science & Health Podcasting” is soon to be a course at several institutions.

You can literally change your entire life in a few months. I have done it for myself, helped others do it, and watch other people follow the steps. Whenever you are ready to completely up level your existence, let me know. Be ready for your ENTIRE life to look different though.

DIY = Do It Yourself. It does not mean Do It Alone. Team is key. Crew up with the correct people & DIY.

I remember how shocked some people were that you can do causal analysis with qualitative methods, too. In fact, ethnography *can* provide very robust evidence of causation (particularly because the researcher is often literally RIGHT THERE to observe cause and effect)

it’s also so nice to be in a new apartment where everything started super clean and it’s just quick maintenance to keep it that way 🥰

finally reached that point in college/adulthood where i clean up my kitchen every night before bed, pick up any spare items, and make sure my morning is as easy as possible 🤩♥️

A mathematician is someone who uses "such that" when they speak.

i have officially decided i’m going to rebuild my portfolio website in webflow and transition out of wordpress 🫣

Took my daughter to the library at USyd yesterday. Marvelling at the endless books, she danced through the stacks, threw open her arms and declared, "I'm in heaven". A reminder of how universities are meant to make us feel.
