I couldn’t help but post this today after spending quite a bit of time last week talking with folks about social media use and its reflection on our professional selves.

August 29, 2012 | 1 Comment
I’m such a big fan of science–but of course, you know this. I will always post resources and tools that are grounded in solid science. That is, science that’s been shown to be valid and reliable. Science I cite when I teach and when I testify.
