tara riggs, phd

Now introducing Dr Tara Riggs!! Defending my dissertation and now ready for a nap!!

@aliciaandrz The food/everything noise is crazy. I've been off for 4 weeks and I notice a giant difference. I can't wait until my insurance clears and I can quiet everything down.

I’ve been on a GLP-1 for a little over a week. I’m an addict & my relationship to alcohol, sugar, & shopping is transformed. all the compulsions, urges, & noises are quieter. there’s so much more space to think—& live my life. I don’t care about losing weight; I care about this.

@aliciaandrz I was the person that always skipped so I made it my policy that you can miss as long as we don't have a guest speaker or presentations (if we had exams, they were take-home).

professors who ask for proof of medical emergencies or deceased family members need to stop. I’d rather one hundred students lie to me about dead grandmas & get away with it than force even one to send me an obituary when they’re grieving. it costs nothing to trust your students.

I thought I'd get a blanket rejection email, but now I'm joining OPIR at Columbia University as Assistant Director of Survey Research and Analysis!

Mae got to go a bunch of different places while I was visiting family and look how happy the she was!

it’s not dead, it just needs major revision

@MandT_Bank love that you are holding my account hostage. Someone messed up internally and waited 2 weeks to send a new card isn't there in the promised time period. I have proof of the call on 10/15 getting a replacement and I will go at least 5-7 days before a card.

Flight attendant: “Is there a doctor on the plane?” PhD: “yes, are you hiring?”

I'm on the verge of being furloughed but more likely rif-ed. My background is in surveys and quant analysis. Any leads would be appreciated because I don't have a safety net and my savings are depleted trying to stay afloat. #poliscitwitter #hireme

My friend's nieces refer to me as Mae's mom and ask her to text me and I don't want kids but the way they love Mae (and seemingly like me) is adorable.

My coworker is slacking off...

I'm open to any research jobs (I'm a Poli Sci PhD) including gigs and temp roles as well as ft work!

H folks! ! I fear I may be riffed in December and am actively searching for roles. My key skills are in survey design and analysis but I also have program management experiences. Please share any leads! #poliscitwitter #jobsearch

I will wind up having to leave my apartment and don't have a safety net. I'm first gen and have had some expensive crisis in the past year.

I'm always open for consulting or ad-hoc projects as well. #poliscitwitter #altacjobs

The state of federal contracting is a trash fire so I may be on the market again. My top skills are survey instrument design, quant modeling, and data based storytelling. I've got a PhD in Political Science enjoy research design. Have an openings or leads? Let's connect!

Insert text about a dog because that is all I ever seen to talk about.

Back with a dog problem-this time for one of the kindest souls in Binghamton . Callie is Allison's world and a certified good girl. Donate if you can and please share! gofundme.com/f/callies-urge…

@Victor_Asal They gave me a portable for 2 weeks luckily. They are backed up but at least it's something.

@tarariggs Can you get a new one that works better?

My AC has stopped working for the third time in 2 days. Other than requesting maintenance, any ideas?
