Residents around the LA Fires: This thread contains some great info from @LifeAtPurdue professor Andrew Whelton about the infrastructure around fire-impacted areas. Follow him for science-based info and recommendations about wildfire recovery and water, soil, air, debris, etc.
The drinking water in the area visited is suspected to be unsafe so residents are still warned to limit its use.
We saw that 1 water meter was removed (per the homeowner) from a service line to an area with destroyed buildings. (Buried white PVC pipes can be seen)
This is recommended so there is no cross-connection, or accidental recontamination of the water system.
I wonder how many students in my class downloaded the @BurgerKing app because of how often I talked about the "Free Any Size Fries with Any Purchase" coupon...😏
It's grad school application season, and I noticed a new clause in UC-Irvine Letter of Recommendation (LOR) section. I'm curious what folks think about prohibiting students from participating in their LORs. I worry it puts students and faculty in precarious positions. 1/4
Some faculty request that students draft a LOR for them to review/edit. Would students feel comfortable saying, "Hey advisor or instructor I had for one class, I can't draft it - you need to" or would they just check the box and deal with the moral/ethical tensions of lying 3/4
My mom always said, "We watch for the warning." Hoping for the best for everyone impacted by #HurricaneLee
Hurricane & Tropical Storm Watches have been issued for parts of the state for #HurricaneLee. These watches may become warnings as the storm continues to approach Maine. Do you know the difference between a watch and a warning? 1/2
ALT An image of several baking ingredients and a pile of whoopie pies. Text reads, "Whoopie Pie Watch. We have the ingredients to make whoopie pies. Whoopie Pie Warning. We are having whoopie pies RIGHT NOW!" The Maine Emergency Management Agency logo is on the bottom right corner.
I teach Management Communication in a College of Business and am talking more in class about gender pronouns, honorifics (Dr, Ms, Mr, Mx), and the difference between sex and gender. I got a little pushback, but most students seem to feel positive or neutral about these topic.
My goal is for students to build knowledge & skills that help them succeed in business. Since many folx introduce themselves using pronouns, we need to know what pronouns are & understand the possible consequences for (un)intentionally using the wrong pronouns for people at work.
I will unfollow every celebrity, brand, and public figure who doesn't express outrage at the SC's decision. USE YOUR PLATFORMS to conjur support for people who can get pregnant!!!

Thoughts from a YT based musician: It’s not just major labels you’re talking about here… we’re talking artists, publishers, writers, producers, mixers, an entire industry that you want to pay with exposure. If Netflix wants to use popular music they pay a licensing fee… (1/3)
I am delighted to share a new publication with Seungyoon Lee and Tamara Guest in the International Journal of Communication... Discussion Networks and Resilience of College Students: Explicating Tie Strength in Communicative Interaction. ijoc.org/index.php/ijoc/arti… @jhbcImpact (1/9)
Discussing certain topics also predicted resilience! Having others to talk to about career & life goals and success & triumphs predicted more resilience on 3 dimensions… friends & relationships and failures & mistakes were the next most predictive topics. (8/9)
