I subbed for one of my faculty for her in-person class this week. I love teaching in-person. And I forgot how animated I can get teaching behavior analysis. When you love your job, it isn't work. #EduSky #behavioranalysis #teaching

Coming back here after a break. Been busy at work, but I need a sanity break. Can't wait to check out my peeps here. Hopefully you've been active.

This weekend's project. New gazebo. The last one was trashed by straight line winds in a storm. This one is more solid and anchored to the patio. #fägelon #ikea #diy

Hugh Jackman giving the commencement address at today's graduation. One of the better ones I've heard over the years.

It sucks that one of my pups is so anxious about thunderstorms. Especially in this state in the spring. #poorbaby #adoptedpup

Is anyone in #AcademicBlueSky attending OCALICON next month? I'm presenting there again. Good online conference for low-incidence ideas. #EduSky #PhDLife

Fairy Tail Fur Ball benefit for the Madison County Humane Society. Every animal deserves a happy ending.

My project for the Madison County Humane Society fundraising auction. My first woodworking items for sale. Can't wait to see how they do. And the sale benefits the animals.

I didn't realize I was holding office hours tonight while working from my patio. Plenty of hummingbirds buzzing around as I grade papers. #nature #AcademicBluesky #PhDLife

Mark your calendars. New exhibition coming up soon. Her reflections on fighting the big C. And, yes, that is her work at the top. A four-panel abstract painting. #Imarriedanartist #cancersucks

One of my friends in my outside office. Working off the patio this evening. #AcademicBluesky #PhDLife #EduSky

Guess who is going to Long Beach in January? Yeah, that's me. Presenting at the DADD conference again. It will be nice to be in CA in the winter. Anyone else going? #EduSky #AcademicBlueSky #PhDLife #DADD2026

Grading is done. The summer semester is over. Grade submission tomorrow and then a bit of rest. I can't wait to work on my garage and setting up my workshop. #EduSky #AcademicBlueSky #PhDLife #Woodworking #HomeWorkshop #NeededRest

Why am I not surprised? This is a travesty. There is no legitimate reason to pay people with disabilities less than minimum wage. This is nothing but greed.

ICYMI: The Trump administration will allow employers to keep paying people with developmental #disabilities less than minimum wage, in some cases less than $1 per hour

So, I did a thing recently. I agreed to take on a more administrative role in my department. Starting this fall, I will be Associate Department Chair and Director of ABA Programs in the largest department on campus. Am I crazy? Is it the heat? #EduSky #AcademicBlueSky #WhatHaveIDone #MovinOnUp

This year it feels more like the Farce of July.

This is getting ridiculous. The number of teacher ed programs that are affected across the state is incredible. Given the teacher shortage, I just can't believe there was no consultation with students or thought given to the actual effects. www.indystar.com/story/news/p...

Indiana public colleges cut or merge a fifth of degree programs, more could come

Six Indiana public colleges have submitted a fifth of the state's degree programs for cutting or merging ahead of a new law instituting size quotas.

Huge fan of Brian Cox. And I love the sentiment here. We should always be curious and skeptical. Science evolves and grows as new information comes to light. That doesn't make what came before wrong. Just outdated. Never stop learning. #EduSky #Education

I was excited to see this in my Inbox from AERA earlier today.

A coalition of organizations representing educators and researchers (including the @aapthq.bsky.social) has filed a legal challenge to the recent mass termination of grants by the National Science Foundation (NSF). 🎢 🧪 🍎 👩‍🔬 #AcademicSky

Apparently, it is now the law that academics teaching behavior analysis need to be licensed. So, now I can add an additional 3 letters after my name. LBA. Just another thing I have to freakin' pay for every few years. 😒

Such a great #PaTTANMathConf this week. Heard from some great math folks. Always learning. My students will only benefit from their knowledge. @paulriccomini.bsky.social @rastokke.bsky.social @mrzachg.bsky.social Jenny Root, Elizabeth Hughes, Brian Poncy all rocked it out. #EduSky #mathed

I am such a geek. Day 2 of the PaTTAN Math Conference and I'm watching some of my favorite math minds. Preaching to the choir. #ProfessionalDevelopment #matheducation #phdlife #EduSky

Having a good time hanging out (virtually) at the PaTTAN Math Conference today. Plenty of great talks on my agenda from some of my favorite math peeps. #EduSky #AcademicBlueSky #PhDLife #Math #AlwaysLearning

The back of a new whiteboard for my office. If it's wrong to be giddy about an 8' whiteboard in my office, I don't want to be right. #phdlife #happyplace #EduSky #AcademicBluesky

Interested in working with me here at Ball State? This position would be for the entire college, not just SPED. Take a look at the Director of edTPA position. bsu.peopleadmin.com/postings/48343

Really like my new office. I'm getting a lot of work done when I'm there right now too. #spacious #academiclife #phdlife #EduSky

Light turnout but an engaged crowd. Apparently they wanted to know more about how math content in ABA assessments matches common core standards. #Mathstuff #earlynumeracy

The room for my presentation this afternoon. I wonder if it will be full. #ABAI2025 #Mathstuff

Today I got the grading done for the first week's assignments in my 4 sections I'm teaching this summer. Everything due yesterday is graded. I believe that is a record for me. I wonder how long it will last. #EduSky #AcademicBluesky #PhDLife
