Why Hasn’t Microsoft or Google Bought Doodle?

By Joshua Kim. Doodle has become so essential that I wonder why none of the big calendar / e-mail players have bought the company. It is not hard to imagine Doodle being fully baked into Outlook or Gmail. I’m not talking integration options that Doodle already offers.

Using Project Management Approaches to Tame Your Dissertation

By Justin Dunnavant. No one finishes a STEM dissertation by doing just 100% research all day every day; you have many other tasks including classes, writing manuscripts, attending journal clubs, teaching obligations, seminars, lab meetings, public presentations of your work, and the need for sleep and a healthy body.

Learn Like an Entrepreneur

By Justin Dunnavant. In my free time I listen to a lot of podcasts and read books about productivity, time-management, and general life hacks. But one thing that always strikes me is that the target audience for many of these books and podcasts aren’t students such as myself, but business professionals and entrepreneurs.

Backing Into Aristotle

By Matt Reed. I’ve seen some pretty skeptical commentary recently about whether people really need free college. Given the existence of Pell grants, the argument goes, haven’t we already covered that? Why give away money to people who don’t need it. Read more...
