I’m digging into #chi2023 data on reviewing - will maybe work on a blog post about it. What would you want to know about the number of reviewers and length of reviews?

🚨 This is about as bad as it gets, and three days before Christmas.

I never did a proper #introduction when I moved to mastodon. #ucirvine posted my “what matters to me and why” talk though, and it’s a pretty good intro.

In short, I’m a failed biologist turned computer scientist turned vice provost who deeply believes that literally everything can be made better and that we all, every one of us, has a responsibility to make it better in whatever small way we can.

One of the most important lessons you can learn in work and in life is that things will change, often suddenly and dramatically. Don't put all of your eggs in one basket, that kind of thing. But also don't view change as some negative thing that should be stigmatized, don't get complacent and don't settle.

The Cost of Thriving - American Affairs Journal

It sounds like an absurd riddle, or perhaps a kindergarten-level math problem: the median male full-time worker earned $314 per week in 1979, while his counterpart at the median in 2018 earned $1,026; who was better off? In fact, the question proves fiendishly difficult, even as its answer lies at the heart of understanding America’s economic progress...
