I did. Also, in a chat with a service manager, I'm being told I can pay to upgrade to the cabin I was downgraded from on the return leg, and fill out a form in hopes to be compensated for paying to upgrade to the cabin I already paid to be in but was downgraded from. Baffling.

They offered to either refund my ticket if I no longer wanted to fly or nothing, incl not offering premium for the other leg of my flight. And now they're telling me if I fill out paperwork when I get back I *might* be refunded what I already paid them for and didn't receive.

Wow @FlyAirNZ with some abysmal customer service. A leg of a flight I paid over $1k extra to fly premium economy had a change of aircraft so they put me in economy.

Yay!!!! Big congratulations!!

This is the first week I compromised my principles on posting true weekly facts on the whiteboard on my office door. As a proud @NIUlive faculty member, I felt it was my duty. @NIU_Football #upset #NIUFootball

Hey #ESA2024! We're doing speed review today at the British Ecological Society stand in the exibition hall from 11:45-12:45. Do you have some applied science you want to pitch to be in @AER_ESE_BES or @JAppliedEcology? Or just ask to see if it's a good fit? Come see us!

Hey #ESA2024! Come see our session today at 10-11:30 in 101A. Integrating Across the Academic-Practitioner Divide: Supporting Basic and Applied Ecology Researchers Across Their Careers at Nachusa Grasslands

I thought I was going to spend Monday writing a Gordon Conference proposal for a fun Restoration project I'm working on with @mlungele, @prof_smurph, and @JMBecologist. But after reading the experience below, we've decided not to support or attend GRCs anymore.

Do any #DBER or #SABER folks have a successful NSF Innovations in Graduate Education proposal you might be willing to share? A group of us in my department are writing one trying to reduce sexual harassment in STEM and would love to see what a successful one looks like. TIA!

Are you a non-academic with a wide network of practitioner colleagues who wants to contribute to sharing information across the academic-practitioner divide? Come work with us!

Thanks :)

I am really honored to have received two of our highest honors at NIU this spring. It has been a pleasure mentoring younger faculty like @jenniferahkoop and @PallaviSingh11! And the many graduate students who were the engines of the research program for which I was awarded.

Awwww, Alex! Thank you for those kind words. I'm glad you found your home in @NIUSustain!!
