Asked by our employer to post this though I strongly suspect most do not know or care where I work:
The views/opinions expressed here are not necessarily those of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, and they may not be used for advertising or product endorsement purposes.

Happy #nationalcatlady day. Late to the club but glad to be a member. #caturday

One of the most handsome cats imaginable thinking about taking a nap in a sink by a garden.

University of #Louisiana at Lafayette is a fun place to work and play but there ARE rules. Photo credit to my curious colleague @natfdouglas.bsky.social

A sign on a university building limiting crawfish from receiving an education. “Crawfish are NOT allowed inside the building.”

SIGH FROM DEPTHS OF SOUL. It's so straightforward it is THE go to for teaching why papers get retracted.

Tears to laughter whiplash twice for "Princess Chicken Nugget" and the ferocious bobcat. What would we do without dogs?

📱 Do you work in the tech industry? 📱

Do you have knowledge of developing healthcare technologies?

We need 3 people from the tech industry to join our online co-design research as part of my PhD, utilizing smart speakers and automatic speech recognition (ASR) for speech and language therapy.

at bay. Small acts of

Posting this call for help in managing useless but harmful reviews of #qualitative #research.

Jamie Azios @jamieazios.bsky.social · Feb 13

Our qualitative study got desk reject for “sample size” & “validity”. Appealed & reply said we should add 1)coder reliability & 2)numerical data in a table to justify “theme saturation” for paper to go to review. I’ve published qual work for 9 years & don’t know how to deal w/ this quant bias. Help!

Rooting for the #Eagles and also somehow for #TaylorSwift. But honestly, I'm mostly here for the #SuperbOwl posts.

c0nc0rdance @c0nc0rdance.bsky.social · Feb 9

Like many animals that can fly, the #SuperbOwl has gyro-stabilized neck movements to allow it to maintain focus on prey in flight. They're not unique in this, but they are superb!

This little guy is in a rescue for head trauma from a car strike. You can see the pupils don't match (anisocoria).

a gif from gifsboom.net shows an owl in a blue shirt

Alt: I think this might be a whet owl, a tiny own with a very intense expression. An arm in a blue jacket rotates him in multiple dimensions, against a green leafy background, but his intense glare always faces the camera.

Think I'll share this each time a colleague gets damaging feedback from a reviewer who doesn't understand qualitative research.

Oh, what a read! #Qualitative researchers and reviewers, this one is for you.

Wow. This is helpful!

Keeping my collection of not quite Laura cups together. A little more #sociolinguistics data collection in the wild.

Various cups with names that are each uniquely not “Laura” written on them.

The art you share is a bright spot in my social media experience. As someone with a limited art background, I'm so thankful for the exposure to art/artists.

Listen, thanks for lending us your weather. I promise we all treated it with the absolute reverence it deserved. Just absolute statewide giddiness. And, in Louisiana tradition, we showed it a good time.
