First day of (teaching) in Year 14 at Purdue! One step closer to emeritus!
Good start to the day, I bench pressed more than Tom Brady can (his best was 245, I did 250 today)! Not sure if it will help my teaching, but at least I can do something athletically that the GOAT has not done.
It’s just beautiful—especially in the late summer.
Are you passionate about use-inspired basic research and RPPs w/ schools + community orgs? Do you want to mentor research trainees at Notre Dame? Apply to be Director of Research Programs for IEI’s Ctr for Educational Research and Action (ERA)! Share widely! jobs.smartrecruiters.com/UniversityOf...
Here is one we did for the home math environment: jnc.psychopen.eu/index.php/jn...
We had 39 authors from around 14 countries work on this. Happy to talk to you about our process if you’re interested.

Sharing my recent pub with the bsky community! The Factor Structure of Parents' Math-Related Talk and Its Relation to Children's Early Academic Skills doi.org/10.1111/cdev...
Some of it it might be at AAU universities. My university recently made a decision that letters should only come from other AAU universities. That narrows the scope of who can write quite considerably. It’s quite absurd given that some of the most amazing scholars in many fields are not at AAUs.
We're hiring a Postdoctoral Scholar! Come join our @conflictcollab.bsky.social at Purdue PSY in the fall 🎉
The role involves opportunities to research and lead writing projects on humanizing organization, conflict mgnt, workplace discrimination, goals, and more! drive.google.com/file/d/1tke0...
Thanks!
Does anyone have recommendations on someone who can do a training for grad students/postdocs on scientific communication to lay audiences?
Excited to hear @agamoran.bsky.social speak at Purdue today!

What is your university doing to protect, support, or at least community with faculty right now?
That’s the series I’m reading too. It’s excellent!
Excited to share that I’ve been awarded a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE)—and that I’m also still somehow considered “early career” :)

I’m drafting a grant proposal right now and realized that the end date is a few months after my oldest kid graduates from high school…

I’m happy to answer questions if you have them.

This lets them build their own unique programs of research that is connected to, but different than mine. 3/3
Right now, I have students who are all generally interested in math, but extend off to their own unique areas of (1) Latine cultural identity and math, (2) math difficulties/disabilities, (3) gender differences in math, and (4) informal (non-home) environments and math learning. 2/3
I’ve been saying let’s just meet because it lets me learn more about their real research interests. I don’t want a student to just tell me they’re interested in what I do, I want students who connect with my work but build their own unique areas. 1/3
I’ve had a lot of inquiries from potential PhD students this year. Normally there are polite requests for a brief conversation (usually not too many and I’m happy to do them). This year, I’ve received several requests asking me to email them my 5 year research plan…
There isn’t a list because it’s not really definable and there is substantial intracountry variation. Moin Syed had a nice piece about it: getsyeducated.blogspot.com/2021/06/weir...
@alexagraceellis.bsky.social led an HME paper where we ultimately determined that we couldn’t classify.
The call for submissions for MCLS 2025 in Hong Kong (June 9-11) is now available! www.the-mcls.org/mcls-2025-ho...
If you’re interested in joining on a symposium submission on early math interventions or on something related to geometry, let me know! I plan to organize a symposium on one of those.
