Shout out to the amazing @Dr_EKing for getting Brad Pitt to send his congratulations to @MissouriState grads. She also happens to be a class of 2011 @PennStateAlums
A cool thing happened tonight. President @ClifSmart wants to give credit where credit is due: @Dr_EKing, thanks for doing something special for your students. #GoMaroon 🐻👏

DYK Penn State Learning is providing one-on-one tutoring and guided study groups remotely as students settle in to finish all classes remotely for the Spring 2020 semester? Details: ow.ly/qhSP50yVndz
Very impressed with @JustinPritcha19’s strategy for the @penn_state online move: he set up a basic plan then asked his students what they thought would work best and was fair. Just bc you’re the teacher doesn’t mean you have to have all the answers. #collaboration

Almost 200 years ago, the first person to be what we would now call a coder was, in fact, a woman: Lady Ada Lovelace. So why are women underrepresented in the field? @CodeforHer is a free coding workshop at @penn_state to introduce you to coding. Apply by 1/26.

Been on a roll with morning writing lately, and there is nothing more inspiring than what came in the mail this week. Congrats to @Iona_Grey on her @bookofthemonth and amazing agent @Becky_Ritchie1 Makes me want to cancel my day and fall into this story! 🥰

You are my academic soulmate @Dr_EKing 😍
I would guess that three hours of my work week consists of editing each email I send to delete approximately 25 exclamation points.

That moment when you realize you’ve been poisoning yourself with decaf coffee all week and that’s where that headache came from (why is that bag not a different color???)

Great essay on teaching, authority, caring, and being human by @JakeMaynardPA — lucky to be writing down the hall from him these days.
