@academic-chatter.bsky.social My co-author and I decided this is the best way to announce an article on advertising fun

I found this 1 star review on rate my professors the second to last week of class, so the last day of class I got everyone ice cream, sidewalk chalk, bubbles, temporary tattoos, and @utvolshop.bsky.social brought some stuffed animals and stress balls

My nine-year-old nephew sent me the best birthday card I’ve ever received and it’s not even close #partyhard

I guess what I’m trying to say is AI & academic spam has a long way to go (my research is on social media and advertising)

going to explore #fortdickerson park in #knoxville today and I can't help but wonder if some of these trails were named by 13 year old boys

It was a fun year teaching a social media strategy class at @utknoxville.bsky.social

For some context, it would cost roughly 3.9 million dollars to buy this many impressions #socialmediasky

In #academic news that 2 other professors will care about, my research passed 3k citations today. Academics are underpaid so we have to cherish these milestones lol

I try to post about research here, which usually involves #socialmedia #sustainability #messageframing and #informationprocessing

A student needed extra credit & I needed a new headshot. He took a picture of me in class & I said "make me pompous and saying something grandiose but meaningless, and in black and white like a steve jobs photo."

10 minutes later he emailed me this. 10/10 no notes.
