Today marked my last class of fall 2020. I taught upper- and lower-level courses in every major format: online, in-person, and hybrid. Here are my initial observations about pandemic teaching in the context of a small, private college.

I would place The Nurture Assumption on my list of top psychology books that shifted how I view the world. Most of that list is scientists who were brave enough to back unpopular ideas that contradicted accepted wisdom.
Judith Rich Harris (1938–2019).

If you plan to be on the academic job market, then you need to know the basic job qualifications. How many pubs? How many courses taught? Do I need grants?

Why are APA journals asking authors to use the APA 7th ed., then copy editing them back into APA 6th ed.? Shouldn't APA journals be on the forefront of ridding the world of those long lists of authors in the first citation?
et al. for all!
