Technology's Powers and Limits
By Tracy Mitrano. This week I remember a ten-hour neurosurgery I had in Pittsburgh on November 6, 2008. From radiology that suggested a schwanomma on my right trigeminal nerve, the doctors took an innovative endoscopic approach through my sinuses, down to the bottom of my brain where they drilled a little hole in my skull to access the top of the spinal cord and a mass of nerve ganglia.

Social Media Questions and Answers
By Eric Stoller. CSSA 599 sounds like the name of a new droid for the new Star Wars movie. However, CSSA 599 is a special topics class at Oregon State University. Recently, students from the class tweeted a series of questions about social media/technology and invited me to respond.

Pass the Cast Using Periscope
By Eric Stoller. When I first met Kayvon Beykpour and Aaron Wasserman, they were both working for Blackboard.

Hello Is a Reintroduction
By Eric Stoller. Sometimes you just need to say "hello." From Apple to Adele, hello is oftentimes a reintroduction. Lately, it's been an interesting professional exercise.

Why It Matters How You Are Paid

Confessions of an Accidental Plagiarist
By Wendy Robinson. I was two days into a “dissertation vacation” (i.e. when I ditch my family and go on a writing binge somewhere without small children) when I discovered the note card. On it was a hastily drawn diagram and two sentences jotted heavily underlined, with stars nearby. Read more...

Making a Writing Group that Works
By Travis Grandy. I've had a lot of ups and downs as a writer in grad school. When I was making the transition from coursework to working independently, I started having trouble writing and reading at the same pace as I did for my grad seminars. At times it can be hard to stay motivated, especially when some of those external accountability structures fall away. Read more...

Op-Ed vs. Scholarly Journals
By DeWitt Scott. Obtaining success and recognition in the halls of academia rests largely upon one’s ability to publish rigorous scholarship in scholarly journals. As graduate students, this concept is shoved down our throats almost daily. We are told that publications are what get you hired, promoted, and tenured. Read more...
