With #FESTA2023 here, I'm reflecting on the journey my daughter and I took together w/ #BTS during COVID. I still need to write up the 600 stories that #ARMY shared w/me about their own journey w/ #mentalhealth & #BTS. @bts_bighit @BTS_twt @BTSW_official jahonline.org/article/S1054-…

For the past 2 years, I've been working on a research project about how BTS impacted the mental health of their fans. With #festa2024 and #unicef's new #OnMyMind campaign here, it seems like the perfect time to start sharing some quotes.

This weekend I flew out to Northern Illinois to hear the cicadas. We captured lots of audio and images for our game about grief and loss (Year of the Cicadas). It was like being transported back in time to 2004, when my son died and the 17-year cicadas emerged to grieve with me.

Disappointed in this article and @CNN. For those experiencing the worst of grief, the task of moving through "stages" is infuriating. Grief doesn't work that way, just ask any bereaved parent. I wish the "Stages of Grief" would die already. #Grief #fail cnn.com/2021/09/12/health/fi…

As editor-in-chief for a peer-reviewed journal, here are some tips to help move your submission along: 1) recommend several experts (NOT PEERS) to review your papers at submission. Its hard to find reviewers lately, and you know the experts in your field better than me....

4) please don't email me asking me to reconsider a peer-reviewed rejection. My decision relies heavily on those that reviewed your paper. Emailing me won't change THEIR decision....

5) don't give up on your manuscript. Perhaps it just wasn't a good fit for the journal OR it needs more work before being submitted somewhere else. It will find a home...get it back out there! #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter
