One Conversation Can Make a Day

Today I had a meeting with one of our master's students. She's interested, broadly, in language and media.

This topic is one of my first loves. Indeed I started my career studying psycholingusitics with Bob Meeds at Kansas State.

It was a great talk, and it left me completely energized. Talking with a bright, motivated graduate student is the absolute best that this job ever gets. Thus, today was one of the two or three high points of the entire semester.

As a professor at a research institution, you live for days such as this.
