I'm officially amused that it is legit harder for me to log on to a journal's peer review system than to my bank account.....

Jay Stock@MarcKissel something about their work ethic is useful for me, it's not something they can really self rate, and it accounts for a lot of what makes a student successful
@MartaMirazonLahr
This is wonderful advice. I LOVE bragging on how awesome students are but always nervous i am saying the wrong things. So this helps a lot. It takes me awhile to write them and I just want to do best for the students who trust me to help them in this process!
thanks so much, Marta!
Marta Mirazon Lahr@MarcKissel Hi Marc - this is the time of year when we write many of these! I always try to stress (if applicable) that they think and work independently, have original ideas and are prepared to learn methods/tools as needed to meet their goals.
I think these are important in the process of joining another group as PD or a new job that will benefit from their research skills/expertise.

@JayTStock Thanks Jay! i really appreciate this!
question for folks who have graduate students: what kind of info is helpful in a letter of recommendation? Is there something I should be making sure to mention in these letters to help a committee evaluate the student? #HigherEducation #anthropology
@vansickle I didn't notice that...

Still trying to figure this out but since i see folks with "about me" posts here's mine:
I'm a paleoanthropologist at Appalachian State University (or as i call it, 'the real ASU'!). I study semiosis in the past (i.e. 'meaning-making'), how hominins became human, and the origins of warfare & peacefare. But I'm also really interested in critical #pedagogy (like #ungrading) and make a classroom a more open and just place.
Hoping to learn a lot from all the awesome folks here!
I really liked the connections I made in that other space and also have no idea how that happened. But hoping to connect with folks here as well and chat about #anthropology #paleoanthropology #pedagogy and other fun things
