Pickup basketball in the southwest suburbs of chicagoland seems to be impossible to find. How is this the case in the midwest I'm absolutely befuddled.
Very random but newish to the mokena/tinley area and wondering if anyone knows regular days/times adults play 5v5 bball at the centers like tinley fitness or the oaks in mokena getting back to it after an Achilles tear and finding a game has been a challenge.
Wondering what experience people have had with openstax and similar open source textbooks for college general biology. I currently teach a freshman level bio course using Campbell for a 2 course series but our students find the cost prohibitive.
Do you have a background in teaching at the secondary ed level and did some graduate work in Biology? Do you enjoy being able to easily get outside while also being close enough to enjoy the perks of Chicagoland? Apply and come join us at GSU! employment.govst.edu/postings/8454
So should I be including kevlar in my required course materials for my courses? I ruefully wonder if that might b more important than lab safety glasses for protection in a biology class. #notok #morethanthoughtsandprayers
A day late but CONGRATULATIONS to @DrurySciences Class of 2022. You were the 1st class of students I taught as faculty; though I've moved closer to family you will always hold a special place and helped shape my teaching. Thank you & Congrats! You have and will DU Great Things!
Been a while since I watched a CWS telecast but since moving to Chicago this year starting to watch some telecasts...used to never be able to stand them with Hawk...low key best upgrade ever with the new play by play guy, really enjoying the statistics and analysis!
A friend also in academia sent this to me. This hits home on so many levels...the article goes through so many true sides to student struggles today & those of faculty. The disconnect is understandable & real A 'Stunning' Level of Student Disconnection chronicle.com/article/a-stun…
At the Austin airport at 6 AM for a 7:40 flight to Chicago, carrying on and might miss our flight. Been on line for 50 minutes and not even in sight of the checkpoint. Austin Y'all paying for my ticket?
Few things unite students and faculty more than their shared frustration at LMS crashes just before or during finals week.
Shorter tweet, for all the people saying that not getting vaccinated its preserving liberty for your grandchildren. What about the liberty of the grandchildren who won't exist because their would be parents died of Covid you exposed them to?

I really appreciate and like @ashleyruba_phd’s posts, but I had to chuckle as I read this and thought about my degrees and awards all tucked neatly away in the closet where I keep my cat’s litterbox.
"Did I just waste the last decade of my life?" It's a question I've asked myself often. Not so long ago, academic success meant everything to me: I was a straight-A student. I was the first person in my family to go to college or earn a PhD. I won over 20 awards in the process.…
10 miles. Been working on my hip mobility and it’s really helping. My left calf started bothering me the last mile but overall success.
The jersey is back on the rack. 🇨🇦 One more year with @zach_edey.
After getting the cancer diagnosis at the end of March my dad passed away yesterday. It is so unfair and so cruel. I am devastated. I’m lucky so have such strong sisters and an even stronger mother.
@medievaliste I was told to set hard deadlines. And then when no students met them I was told to let them turn things in whenever they want. I can't win. My mental health and my time mean nothing. Teaching the kids life skills doesn't seem to mean anything. Education is just about optics now
Purdue, Can’t express enough how grateful I am for these last four years. The good times and the bad, that has molded me into the man I am today. This University will be a part of me and will travel with me everywhere I go. Forever and always. Love, 5
Let’s all just be clear on this point. Being transgender does not have anything to do with mental illness. Let’s stop conflating the two.

@MarkStopa how do you read that and not see another side here? Sure, if you didn't die from your infection, your immunity will be as good or better than the vaccine. Feels like a big caveat in there but what do I know.
Academia is a job. Grad students are doing a job. An egregious lack of self awareness for a Yale professor making six figures plus to say that academia is a "calling". If that's the case they would only accept a salary to cover the most modest living expenses. And yet.
Graduate students are primarily students and trainees, not ordinary workers. Academia is a calling. I suspect unionization will tip the balance so faculty prefer, at the margin, to hire post-docs to do research in their labs rather than students. yaledailynews.com/blog/2022/10/2…
