This week, I’m looking forward to launching my Youth Research Seminar with Long Island high school students. We’re taking a deep dive into research and, I’m hoping, getting some students interested in pursuing careers in science! If you’ve implemented such a program, please let me know.

I haven’t been to Haidilao! So, I can’t say. It looks good - I’d certainly be up for joining you there if I were in town for SPSP.

Oh which one are you looking at? My fave in the city is Qiao Lin!

I just want to rest but, as a marketing prof, I have a responsibility to watch all the ads…

Me…but I live on Long Island where this has unfortunately been an issue.

An article circulated last week or so about this and I brought it up in my social media marketing class! You can’t take my lol away…lol!

Time to send out more books! I'm all stocked up on books and envelopes. Interested recipients (US-only at this time) just need to be subscribed to my newsletter and complete the survey linked in the newsletter itself. Happy to send dozens of copies! mmarginalia.substack.com

I'm afraid that if I took a class on butterflies now, I would drop everything and pursue a career with butterflies :)

I should also say that the professors I remember most (and who I felt invested in me the most) were adjuncts. I didn't understand what that meant then...but I do now. And so shout out to them.

The class I "use" the most today was something from the music department on world music. It open my world to so much more music and a greater appreciation for how music moves around the world. I also took a museum education class that changed how I think about curation and learning.

Granted, I do consume a fair amount of processed foods, but when I do so outside the U.S., I experience fewer side effects (namely, headaches and migraines). Our myopic focus on extracting every last cent from everything has led us to this place where we accept being poisoned, I’m sure of it.

How awful…it’s also important for kids to know that it matters who sits in front If sharing a sled (weight wise).

Still in London. 10/10 recommend.

Totally agreeing with you while squeezing a protein infused yogurt pack.

What is going on -- the London parade broadcasters are repeating the OSU cheer "O-H" and "I-O" -- can a Michigan girl get peace anywhere in this world...

I need to still see The Crucible to round out the β€œbig four!” Saw Death of a Salesman shortly after moving to NY with Wendell Pierce as lead. What an amazing actor (and cast, truly)!

I suppose I’m turning into an Arthur Miller play aficionado, which now leads me to lament the US accents of today’s West End cast. It was odd to hear a Brooklyn accent given the Ohio backdrop. I mean, who would move from Brooklyn to Ohio?!

I was recently working at a bar around 6am and just drinking coffee. Meanwhile, two people across the bar just met, had a 1-hour relationship, and then parted ways a little too tipsy. One of them actually left their bag at the bar never to return (at least within the next 90 or so minutes).

Each semester I go in my classroom and I try to figure out what we would use to block the doors, if it would be safe to crawl out the windows, where we could hide if there was a mass shooter in campus. It’s such an indictment of this country how we have normalized these preventable tragedies.

I don’t care how many times I’ve been to an airport, you can’t convince me my gate exists until I see it with my own eyes.
