It took over 4 years, but the paper is finally published. In this study, we developed novel methods drawn from #LegalEpidemiology to map addiction #stigma in California law.

Lots of schools now teach writing (VERY GOOD). However, I don't know about you, but the most useful pedagogical training *I* ever got before being unleashed on a higher ed classroom was, "the dry erase markers will always fail you, so bring your own" (side note: this is in fact very good advice)

Reposted by Daniel S. Goldberg

So writing training is scattershot. People pick it up from their mentors, and if your mentor is a great writer and a great teacher then congratulations! But more likely you're just expected to pick it up through vibes and by piecing together advice along the way...

For graduate training, I'll talk about public health, because thats what I know. There is no systematic standard or training approach to teaching writing. AND in graduate education we devalue pedagogy as a distinct skill (and lets talk about all the ways that THAT is gendered) ...

This is just correct.

Sure! There are lots of decent texts on the skill and technique involved in argument. For teaching, I like the Toulmin Method:

Toulmin Argument - Purdue OWL® - Purdue University
This resource describes how to construct an argument using the Toulmin method, a model for argumentation developed by Stephen Toulmin in the 1950s.  By Erin McNulty

it was always a truism in law school that the techies had an intuitive understanding of legal writing that the fuzzies had to learn

Yep. Logic courses are critical to the skills IMO.

Reposted by Daniel S. Goldberg

Best thing I ever did for my writing was take symbolic logic in college. I can't recommend it highly enough.

and there's just no way in the absence of such training people should expect to be especially skilled in it.

Share them, please! Like I trained in two different academic fields in which the technical skill of argument *is* part of the curriculum (ethics and law), and I have an extensive background in debate. But going through all this convinced me there's so much to learn in how to argue

It’s easier to just teach (& to use) the proper jargon, the buzzwords & code phrases that serve as passwords into the private clubs of each discipline. Well-structured essays are HARD.

Writing well - making cogent arguments, without using strawmen or blatant cherry-picking to “prove” your points - certainly isn’t taught in higher ed. In part because such a low percentage of academics can do this well consistently.

One of my most obnoxious beliefs is that the skill of making rigorous arguments in writing is a technical one and isn’t something most academic training programs in most fields actually train their students in.

I actually completely agree with the criticisms Nico Harrison had about Luka and at the same time think you never ever trade a generational talent like Luka.

An obvious and catastrophic mistake and all the Mavs fans know it.

Two housewives chatting through the window in 1655. One is about to lose her salmon steaks to a very fortunate dog! By Nicolaes Maes, whose day is today.

Can she be a bad commander and still be heroic? I guess it's possible in theory, but is she both?

It just never really grabbed me the way it seems to grab others. And while Luna and Jones are good enough actors to make their characters sing, the relationship btw them is strangely paced and underexplained IMO. But I'm in the minority on this, I know.

Neither as good as the adorers think (for the Canto Bright scene alone) nor as bad as the haters think. I appreciate what Johnson was trying to do but found it mostly unsuccessful. @loudpenitent.bsky.social had a good thread recently on what a 🗑️ character Holdo is, too.

hahahaha I missed that

That’s fair. I like Rogue One less than most and Solo more than most but I won’t die on that hill.

A thing that happens a lot when you have any kind of bioethics training is that you get asked to opine on, or teach, or facilitate discussions regarding situations that are not ethically murky in the least, which does not engender confidence in the judgment of the person making the request.
