Aritzia has been coming under fire online for its mirrorless fitting rooms, which force those trying on clothes to walk into a communal mirrored area staffed with sales associates if they want to see how they look. cbc.ca/news/business/aritzia…

It's time. Gary Bettman's efforts to keep hockey in Arizona have been detailed for a long time. The Coyotes became Bettman’s White Whale, his albatross, the thing he couldn’t let go. But the moment has come for him to give it up, writes @eduhatschek. theathletic.com/4528890/2023…

Great tips, but wanted to add from another perspective #phdchat #acwri - If the article's written but it wasn't for publication, expect to completely rework it - Look at the aims and scopes of journals, start an excel sheet, and it might be useful to categorise by citation format
I submitted four single-authored journal articles during my PhD (defended May 2022). All four were published. Acceptance rate: 100% Here's how I did it:

- If you're not pitching to editors, ensure you're grounding in relevant topics to the field. The 'so what' factor really gets you at the desk reject - Read journal articles and notice patterns and formats in writing #phdchat #acwri

- Aiming for high quality (but not top) journals can provide more and faster feedback. Be realistic - Even if desk rejected, sometimes graciously emailing back for 1-2 lines of feedback can help dissect where you need to rework/bolster your argument (methods? 'so what'? ethics?)

Blast from the past from the music metadata days! Back to talks on music recommendation and consumption, now focused on the algorithm. #musictech #music
Here's a 25,000 word literature review of research on the impact of algorithmic on music consumption and production, commissioned by the UK government’s Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation, written by myself and three Leeds Uni colleagues gov.uk/government/publicatio…

If you are an Impact-focused or Execution-focused person who has to deal with an Optics-focused peer, you need to be careful around that person. Share & collaborate because that’s the right thing for the company, but also make sure your manager knows of your unique contributions.
