There’s a fun effect of playing a conference bingo over several days: people adjust their slides to allow participants to tick boxes
Which also means: our conference bingo is a friendly one, well designed, and absolutely tailored to the community
Oh, yes, I did design it :)

How not doing proper research can make you look like a fool... And reveal to everybody you've never been close to a pair of knitting needles.

We'll have an international conference (#WritingResearch: people from linguistics, pedagogy, psychology, etc.) and want to set up a conference bingo. What should that include?
What I have so far:
- Are the speakers for paper two in the room?
- I'll skip the next slide(s)
- It's more a comment than a question
Actually, we want to have two: one for participants, one for organizers. Oh, and do you have suggestions for prizes?
Anyone on here know anything about cold forging in preindustrial times?

Regarding the #Smuttynose axe murders -- the man who was accused and convicted may have been innocent... Then who murdered the victims? I have an idea...

Oh boy! I've traced the killer's genealogy back to the Orne family of the Isles of Shoals (#Lovecraft's #DevilsShoals)! Specifically, to #Smuttynose, a small island known for the #SmuttynoseMurders! #DeepOnes connection found!
Working on research about a real-life serial killer that is the antagonist in a story I'm working on (and yes, I knew him personally and helped to bring him to justice). Unfortunately, the last leads I had on the other murders lost their sources, and I could only find one lead which was behind a paywall. I actually contacted the murderer's offspring a few years ago (who had information about the other murders), but they have dropped off the map. So, I decided to create a public family tree for the killer, since in the fictional version, the killer's ancestors have a part to play in his actions (and perhaps IRL as well!). I figure it's a longshot, but who knows. Maybe the offspring is on Ancestry and that would certainly be a way to get their attention!
