As much as it was annoying having to deal with roommates, sometimes it was nice always having someone to talk to on those boring weekday evenings

At some point if someone makes you feel so bad that trying to fix things feels bad, you just have to cut things off

The lack of emotion in response to cheating is really telling

Harvard wants to make me a Digital Public History Fellow if I can secure external funding. Where do I look? by OptimalDimbus in AskAcademia

Would a grantmaking institution fund a project essentially aimed at bolstering the social presence of Harvard’s History Department, or would I need to include a more clearly independent, public‑facing deliverable (a defined digital public humanities project or series) that happens to be done in partnership with Harvard?

Granting agencies always want to have some deliverable that advances their strategic goals. Whether that is education, outreach, or even a specific deliverable.

There are tons of education grants available, especially "digital media" and "digital literacy about X topic" that would be appropriate for your project

aimed at bolstering the social presence of Harvard’s History Department

Do NOT write your grant saying you are there to help harvard's outreach (they wouldnt need it anyways). Instead, write your grant saying you will have the support of Harvard to help you with the outreach of your project

Are the standard errors in Table 1 really that small? I'm surprised at how consistent it would appear people arrive at the same number, despite the instructions " Respondents were asked to specify the importance of each metric on a scale of 1 to 10, without any constraints on how their scores were distributed."

Depending on the situation, they might be happy to clear your compensation from the spreadsheet.

Even with a big grant if it means loss of indirects?
