Oops, should have said I am retiring after spending 20 years @UA_magazine, the last five of which was as editor. Don't want to take credit for the fine work of my previous editor, my dear friend Peggy Berkowitz.

Haven't been present on this channel for awhile, but I have big news: I am retiring after 20 years as editor of @UA_magazine! It's been a heck of a fun ride. It's a fabulous job, and they need someone to replace me. Interested? univcan.ca/about-us/careers/…

The university has been monitoring the coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19) and as a precaution, we have determined that all classes as of 12:00 PM today, March 11 will be suspended. As of tomorrow March 12, all classes will now be moved to online delivery until further notice.
It seems like just yesterday, our J-School class of 1983-84! OK, not at all. Remember Maclean-Hunter? Congratulations, you've had a great run. Here's to one of the survivors!

Personal note: I am taking a voluntary buyout from @globeandmail effective Aug. 30. It’s been a fun ride -- 30 years, 3 cities (Montreal, Ottawa, Washington) and 5,767 bylines. I'll still be writing about economic policy #cdnecon #cdnpoli hilltimes.com/2019/06/17/the…
I’m looking forward to joining fellow editors @ScottJaschik of @insidehighered and @pbasken of @timeshighered to discuss the future of highered media at #Worldviews2019 in Toronto tomorrow afternoon, moderated by Toboho Moja. Should be fun! @UA_magazine

Feels like it: Kyle Murray of @UAlberta says we process as much information in a single day as our ancestors in the 15th century would have taken in during their entire lifetime. theconversation.com/managing…

Managing the highs and lows of data overload

Today it’s estimated that we take in about five times as much information as we did 25 years ago, and that we process as much data in a day as our 15th century ancestors would have in their lifetime.

If you have a PhD, @UA_magazine will always refer to you as "Dr." #cdnpse xitter.gq/IvanSemeniuk/status/10…

Breaking news: @globeandmail has amended its style guide. From now on only medical doctors and equivalent health care professionals to be referred to as "Dr." Scientists and other PhD holders, please encourage your parents not to overreact.
