Though that does remind me that I haven't actually seen the professor who's at my campus who also likes taskmaster yet, I don't have a class with her obviously and i think she's probably in like the sociology or english department and i am not there very often at all,

Come for Katie doing yet another cool paper, stay for computer scientists teaming up with sociology to incorporate and value qualitative analysis in their research!

Thoroughly exhausted by @4sweb.bsky.social in Toronto, in a good way. What a great conference. 2 presentations w/ 2 very different communities of inquiry, 1 live podcast interview, many friends old & new.
