Why I don't plan to take PhD students in the future

In a recent Walkabout I let slip that I don't plan to take PhD students in the future. That triggered some comments on FB wanting more details, so here goes.

Walkabout Wednesday: what you study is more important than where, and dead geese.

Blood sugar targets, what you should study is more valuable than where you study it, and dead geese. Lots of dead geese.

Walkabout wednesday: Wolves, deer and TV ownership. Yes, really.

Really. I'm not really sure how to categorize some of these things I've wondered about this week. Mostly "Our Environment".

More on the credibility of science, and why it is hard to believe.

Science is hard to believe. But can any of that be blamed on scientists?

Can or should UNL reduce carbon emissions in Nebraska

It's a simple idea. We should set a goal to reduce carbon emissions in the state of Nebraska. Shouldn't we?

Walkabout wednesday: are carbohydrates bad, improving representation in STEM, and DRONES!

Not necessarily, maybe or maybe not, and DRONES. Too cool for words.

How much is too much exercise?

And how do we know?

Do you speak data science?

If I can describe myself as anything these days, it's "self-taught (ie. underqualified) data scientist". Then I read this, and maybe I don't want to be a data scientist! Too funny. Good to take a hard look at the latest fads. Most of this too will pass, and what remains will be useful.

Walkabout Wednesday: I mean Thursday!

I'm a bit late this week. A busy couple of weeks of talks on the road, and a couple days of illness to seal the deal. All's good now!
