Greetings
Welcome to my microblogging site. I also maintain a longer(ish) form blog where I post primarily about my academic and professional work. You can find that blog at this link. I will sometimes post here under the category of ‘research clippings’ which features quotes or quips from research material on colleges and universities.
I use some broad categories to organize the posts on this site. You can access those categories through the archive of this site (or see them listed down this page). Each category has its own RSS feed you can subscribe too.
You can also subscribe to this website as a newsletter and receive a weekly aggregation of posts in your email inbox. You can subscribe here.
