Don’t Look Busy

mars 23, 2021 by James Harbeck | Un commentaire sur Don’t Look Busy

It’s a good thing I’m not working in-house anymore. I’ve been far too busy lately to look busy. Those of you who have worked in corporate environments know what I’m talking about: You can spend an awful lot of time and effort looking busy instead of getting things done. There are a few reasons for […]

Grammar Affairs

février 9, 2021 by Anna Williams | 15 commentaires sur Grammar Affairs

A rocky beginning I’ve had a love-hate, on-again, off-again relationship with grammar over the years. When I was in school I truly despised it.

The problem was that I just didn’t […]

Editors’ Facebook Groups

février 2, 2021 by Ilana Reimer | 2 commentaires sur Editors’ Facebook Groups

I tend to be skeptical of the value of Facebook groups and reticent to invest time in them. But it turns out, I have nothing against Facebook groups. I just needed to find the right ones.

How the Pandemic Allowed Me to Learn a New Skill

janvier 26, 2021 by Glenna Jenkins

Last year, when Peerwith management asked me whether I could revise a paper written in Overleaf — an online LaTeX editor for the production of technical and scientific documentation — I saw it as a learning opportunity.
