A few years ago, I posted annual reviews of what I did in the year; thought that this year I might bring that tradition back.
This year has been a year of some major achievements and changes. I earned tenure, published a major piece of integrative scholarship that I've been working on for a few years, and one of my Ph.D students successfully defended her proposal.
I'm also working on figuring out what the next phase of structure and operation looks like for my research lab, since Sole Pera moved to Delft. I'm thrilled she got this new position! It's been a very good 6 years building the PIReTs and having other academic adventures with her, and we continue to work together remotely on various things. For now, she's been continuing to meet with the research group while some of the current students finish and we figure out what the long-term future of the PIReT ship will be.
It's time for this year's State of the Tools. Things are a bit in flux this year, as I'm working on transitioning my endpoints from Windows to macOS, but I'll run down where I'm at and where I'm headed; there have also been substantial changes in our personal computing infrastructure.

I'm starting to do some speaking again, and now that Japan has opened back up for travel, I'm very pleased to be giving a couple of talks later this month:
On November 19, I will be speaking at Waseda University, hosted by Tetsuya Sakai.
On November 20, I will be giving a keynote talk at IBIS 2022 (Information-Based Induction Sciences). Thank you very much to Toshihiro Kamishima for inviting me!

As long as I have been teaching, I've used a “late day” policy in most of my classes. I designed this policy after learning about universal course design while taking Preparing Future Faculty at the University of Minnesota, but I don't think I've ever publicly written down the motivations and design of this policy. So here you go!
A few years ago, early in my first faculty position, I wrote about how I tracked academic work. I still implement the core ideas of that piece, but most of the details have changed; I thought now, after working on my first annual review after applying for tenure, would be a good time to write an update.
