Virginia Tech rant:

Did you know that Virginia Tech has one of the highest average annual salaries per management position? President Tim Sands makes a whopping $840,546 annually, which is an increase from his original $600,000 annual income.

Did you also know that the president of the United States of America is paid $400,000.

Why does Tim Sands make more than 2 times the US president's salary?

Our Hokie BugFest at Virginia Tech is in full swing. Here is a little green bee from our display showing off Virginia bee diversity. #Blacksburg #VirginiaTech

Everything about the last two minutes, including the premature celebration, was an “oops.” For the moment, #VirginiaTech 40, #Miami 38.

Sharing #qualitative #openData is tricky, but worth it. Here's my mini-primer at @timeshighered Grateful the comms team at #VirginiaTech facilitated the article to share about @qdr https://www.timeshighereducation.com/campus/sharing-qualitative-research-through-open-access

Calling all #Hokies in the #DMV! The Spring 2024 season will be starting soon and we need players!

We aim to have:
• An Open (coed, all ages) team on Tuesdays
• A Masters (coed, 30+) on Wednesdays

All games are in the evenings and played on synthetic turf in Arlington, VA. Cost per player is TBA but usually ~$100/player/team.

WE NEED WOMEN PLAYERS!

If you or someone you know are interested in playing with us, please visit our team info Google Doc (below). It contains links to surveys for each team; fill out one or both as applicable.

Please share!

Nice to see both @thecarpentries teaching philosophies and #virginiatech #libraries services called out here (and I'm really enjoying the role with the maintainer community) https://news.vt.edu/articles/2024/01/univlib-Nathaniel-Porter-Carpentries.html

I took my last exam yesterday and so I’m now done with my first semester studying at #virginiatech!
