[phd.students.socioeco] Academic-flavored treats!

[Ann Hartell]

Hey All,
Some interesting stuff has crossed my inbox/twitter feed the last couple 
of days. Thought I'd share:

1. Crowdfunding your dissertation:

And she just defended successfully:

2. TripAdvisor for peer-review:

More generally on journal rating platforms:

3. TedTalk: Inside the mind of a master procrastinator:
https://www.ted.com/talks/tim_urban_inside_the_mind_of_a_master_procrastinator?language=en
(It's 14 minutes long, but what else were you going to do, actually 
write that abstract?)

Giddy up,
Ann
