Presenting Dr. Jisoo Kim & her dissertation committee. So very proud of my lucky number 13th Ph.D. advisee! Dr. Kim is off to the other UW, the U of Washington, where she joins the tenure-track faculty in the fall. The Huskies are getting a terrific scholar, teacher, & colleague! @uwsjmc.bsky.social

Sad to learn of Bernie Cohen’s passing. Never told me what to think but was stunningly successful at telling me what to think about. He lived in the same senior living complex as my in-laws. I treasured getting to know him.
