My husband and I have taken up a new hobby: watercolor painting.
Does anybody know of youtube tutorials/guides/blogs that are useful to get us started?
P.S. If you are wondering what kind of place the KU sociology department is, @kbkarlson just tweeted a long list of some of the cool research being done here:
“As my department is hiring multiple TT assistant profs, I wanted to highlight some of the awesome research that members of the department have published in leading outlets in sociology and general science, and with major book publishers. A non-exhaustive and unordered 🧵 1/20”
Wouldn't you love to do a postdoc about which lifestyle you have to have to impress others?
Mads Jæger is hiring a 2 y. postdoc to collect (experimental) survey data and study lifestyles, cultural hierarchies and social distinction.
As bonus Mads is an awsome and supportive PI plus you get to live in lovely Copenhagen and work with the great people at the sociology department at the University of Copenhagen!

High SES parents are probably more likely to use libraries and borrow more books for their children
But are they also more likely to prioritize developmentally appropriate books that are best suited to help children improve their reading skills?
I study this with awsome 🇩🇰 library registry data
I find that high SES families use libraries more, but do not prioritize developmentally appropriate books in particular 📚
