"...if I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants..."

Tom Faulkenberry @tomfaulkenberry.bsky.social · Apr 21

Seeing a book in print always brings conflicting feelings - joy, relief, and a looming "what's next?".

But today, I will focus on joy, for it is a beautiful book! It is the book I wanted to read a decade ago...but it feels pretty good to be the one who got around to writing it.

another recommendation is Dr. Keisha Bahr at Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi. She has given workshops for us that have been wonderful, and she has a neat book too ("The Narrative Gym for Science Graduate Students and Postdocs")

I am thrilled to get to continue my work on the Editorial Board of the J. of Numerical Cognition, now as an Associate Editor for the "Advanced Statistical Analysis" section.

One of my best papers is in this journal, so I feel a strong loyalty to it. Looking forward to this work for sure :)

Yes…context is missing here. Just a conceptual “definition”
