Ok #AcademicTwitter: Madison is looking at another 8 in of snow Sun into Mon then dangerous wind chills Wed as low as -55. It seems likely @UWMadison will have to cancel since one can get frost bite within 5 min at that temp & the majority of our students walk/bike/bus to campus.
Normally cancelled classes don’t faze me but I’m teaching this giant lecture this semester. Anyone have suggestions on ways (software) for me to record my lecture at home (that is, a video of my slides & my voice) to upload so we aren’t too far behind? Even fancier: live stream?

We’re less than 2 months away from the 1st birthday of #BodymindsReimagined. Right now the book has a 4.75 rating on @goodreads & 5 stars on @amazon. I would love to see a few more reviews up in the next month. If you’re read it & loved it, please submit a review!

Ugh if *you’ve* read it. This new phone and me are having issues.

Thread alert! If you want to learn more in #disabilitystudies there are a lot of open access resources. Let’s start with Disability Studies Quarterly (dsq-sds.org), one of the leading journals in the field, which is 100% open access.
Other open acces journals include Disability in the Global South (dgsjournal.org) & Review of Disability Studies (with a delay: rds.hawaii.edu)
I personally link to my articles on my website & anything that is behind a paywall I put up as soon as I’m allowed under the publishing contract. I particularly recommend the convo between @JulieMinich, Jina B. Kim & me in the open access journal Lateral.

Morning thoughts: Sometimes white FB friends post photos from an evening out & everyone w/ them appears white. Then I look thru their other pics & same deal. I wonder: Am I their 1 black friend? How many white folks claim proximity to me as a shield against accusations of racism?
And if I *am* the only black friend of many white folks I know, what’s my responsibility for or complicity in their white liberalism? Been thinking about this after I heard someone I sort of know claiming to be friends with me in a discussion about race & I was like who? what? 🤔
FYI if you’re Facebook friends with me we aren’t necessarily friends. If you follow me we aren’t necessarily friends. You can’t claim me as friend if we’ve never had a one on one convo or you can’t name basic shit about me like where I’m from, my partners’ names, etc.

OK #VirtualB17 crew, buckle up for another #TargetforToday flight. Foxtrot is airborne and I'll post updates here over the next few days rather than run the mission in real time. @madpadre1
9 November, 1942. It's 09:21 and Foxtrot has successfully taken off along with the rest of the 92nd Boom Group from their base in Chelveston, England. All aircraft successfully airborne. After a few days of rain, the wintry skies have cleared.
Since the last mission on 28 October, when three aircraft were lost, the crew has received two replacement aircraft and crew, and one replacement aircraft for the crew of the written off Heidi Ho, which its crew has christened Heidi Ho Ho.

@CUnderwoo2 @quantfiction No not really.

I'm going through the chart.

18 of last 26 weeks
High was set on Sunday/Monday

OR

low was set on Monday/Tuesday

Only 1x did both occur in same week.

8x neither.

I'm going to go back to end of bull run after kid's go to bed.
@CUnderwoo2 So I'm breaking down the numbers on highs and lows of the week since the end of the bull run.

I'mm starting the week of December 17 2017 and going until week of December 9 2018.

I could have screwed this up I'm doing it by hand.
@CUnderwoo2 The high occurred Sun or Mon 30/52 weeks. (57.7%)

The low occurred on Mon/Tue 12/52 weeks. (23.1%)

Both of these events occurred in the same week 4/52 weeks (7.7%) a relatively rare event.

Neither occurred 13/52 weeks. (25%)

At least 1 occurred 38/52 weeks. (73.1%)

#AcademicTwitter STORY TIME: Last year, I applied for a faculty position at a university that—the horror—required a diversity statement.

During the campus visit, I was treated to one of the most professionally demeaning experiences of my life. Let me tell you about it! (1)
This department acknowledged they had a “diversity problem.” Like, hiring women was a relatively new development for them.

So, here I come, gunning to be the only woman of color (not just the only Latina, the only woman of ANY color) on their ~40-person faculty roster. (2)
And y’all, I am very aware of what I look like. If *I* am the most ~colorful~ person in a group of 40-something people,

THAT TELLS YOU SOMETHING ABOUT THAT GROUP OF PEOPLE (3)

With legislation committing California to 100% carbon-free electricity sitting on Gov. Brown’s desk, I wanted to share a timely new peer-reviewed article out today in the journal, @Joule_CP: cell.com/joule/fulltext…
In the paper, @nsepulvedam, @FdeSisternes, Prof. Richard Lester and I use detailed power system modeling to identify strategies that lower the costs and increase the odds of reaching a zero-carbon electricity grid. Check out MIT News coverage of the paper: technologyreview.com/s/611987/how-c…
After ~1,000 cases covering possible future tech cost, regional diffs in renewables quality & demand, and different limits on CO2, our study consistently demonstrates the best way to zero out electricity emissions is to deploy a balanced mix of low-carbon electricity sources.

For #highered instructors, getting students to talk can be a real challenge, especially in big classes. So I thought I'd share some ideas for helping students (especially #FirstGen and students of color) feel comfortable sharing in class.
#AcademicTwitter
jessicacalarco.com/tips-tricks/20…
The blog post above has the full run-down, but to briefly summarize:

1) Set the tone early. On the first day, don't just review the syllabus. Start with a mini lesson that gets students thinking and talking and sharing.
2) Start with low stakes. Ask brainstorming questions that produce a list of responses and don't require knowledge of the readings.

3) Give students in-class discussion materials. Blog posts and video clips work great as concrete, culturally-relevant touchstones for discussion.

OK, so let me tell you another Star Wars story that isn't canon except this one was actually published and we all thought it was canon for ages
You've probably heard about the "Thrawn Trilogy" that kicked off the old EU, but what was it? LET ME EXPLAIN YOU A THING
A long time ago, in a galaxy that is even farther away because of the expansion of cosmic dust, military strategy and space mechanics suddenly became important, because a mil-sf author named Timothy Zahn was hired to write the OFFICIAL CANON FUTURE OF STAR WARS around 1991
