It has been a fantastic day watching my graduate student, Noelle Patterson, successfully defend her Master’s Thesis! She gave an excellent presentation & wrote an excellent document. I’m so grateful to have worked with her for my first 2 years as an Assistant Professor. We will miss her in the lab!

Something about the KuhlMedia & Mind lab is that we are going to try and find the joy in any possible moment (even now 🙃). This week’s joy was getting a sign for our new lab space and hanging the beautiful wreath made by PhD student, Haley Siegfried (and her mom 🥲).

Beyoncé won the Grammy for best country album, becoming the first Black artist to achieve the feat. “I think sometimes ‘genre’ is a code word to keep us in our place as artists,” she said, “and I just want to encourage people to do what they’re passionate about.” nyti.ms/3PZvgOW

Keep sharing your JOY ✨ Keep celebrating your PhD defenses, job offers, and awards! Keep telling us ALL the good things. Joy & Hope are what keep us going when things look bleak. They are also forms of resistance.

Please share: I have a friend with access to food trucks in LA that is looking for locations to set them up this weekend that will be useful to the largest number of people and will allow a food truck to park there. Not looking for suggestions but actual contacts

Instead of listing my publications, as the year draws to an end, I want to shine the spotlight on the commonplace assumption that productivity must always increase. Good research is disruptive and thinking time is central to high quality scholarship and necessary for disruptive research.
