I spent 6 days reading papers for my review. Found 24 studies. Read & felt productive. "So what's the actual gap?" my supervisor asked. I froze! Reading papers and identifying gaps are two VERY different skills. Nobody teaches you the second one. So I built myself a simple table based on Robinson et al.'s research gap identification work. Four categories. That's it. Insufficient Data → Less studies or tiny samples Quality Issues → Bias, weak methods, poor controls Mixed Results → Studies pointing opposing directions Wrong Focus → Right topic, missing characteristics I started filling this out WHILE reading. Not after. Every paper now gets tagged with a gap type and specific details. My future self stopped hating my past self. Try it with your next 5 papers. You'll spot patterns you missed before. 💬 Comment "Research Gap" to receive the complete workbook with step-by-step instructions. ------------------ Share to help your academic network 🔄 Repost And Click @RaziaAliani + follow + 🔔 I test AI tools to simplify your #research & #analysis (& 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮)

5 things I learned from only 8 years of teaching: 1 - Never ask, “Are there any questions?” Ask, “What questions do you have?” Then just wait. 2 - They actually do need an assessment every single class. Even if it’s just 1 Q. “Exit tickets” can be cringe, but they work.

I’ve never seen this happen in a Buttigieg interview before. Patrick Bet David brings up Pete’s late father’s work translating Antonio Gramsci. Pete turns it around onto the American political right.

For everyone calling for Pete Buttigieg as the next Speaker of the House, as a 2020 Pete Buttigieg voter and longtime supporter, I'm here to tell you, he is way too talented and valuable for the chaos and inevitable infighting in the House of Representatives. Think bigger. 🇺🇸

The gloves. The umbrella. One could spend a lot of time thinking about this photo.

🚨 POPE LEO XIV MEETS BOB DYLAN IN HISTORIC PRIVATE VATICAN AUDIENCE Pope Leo XIV welcomed legendary Jewish-American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, 85, to the Apostolic Palace. The Pope gifted Dylan a rosary, while Dylan presented his autobiography. Vatican official Rev. Antonio Spadaro described the encounter as having “a real sense of history.” Leo, a longtime Dylan fan, previously quoted the musician’s 1963 anti-nuclear song, “Go Away You Bomb,” in a book on peace and disarmament.

Singer-songwriter Bob Dylan wore a black zip-up sweatshirt, hood up, when meeting with Pope Leo XIV. Dylan also wore black leather gloves, which he looks to have removed to shake hands with the pontiff. wapo.st/4BL6s41

Pope Leo and Bob Dylan look like they're starring in an early '90s CBS drama in which two priests - one by the book and one who does things his own way - try to solve mysteries in their seemingly sleepy Midwestern town that hides a seedy underbelly.

🇺🇸 Today, I had the privilege and the joy of accompanying #BobDylan to meet Pope Leo, together with Andrea Monda. It was hard not to feel the emotion of being part of an encounter that had a real sense of history about it, with the feeling that, at every step through the Apostolic Palace, absolutely anything could happen! Carlo Feltrinelli and Susan Pullman were also with us. On July 31, Pope Leo had met with Patti Smith. I’m writing about it in L’Osservatore Romano. 🇮🇹 Oggi ho accompagnato #BobDylan da Papa Leone insieme ad Andrea Monda. Non senza l’emozione di vivere un incontro che ha il sapore della storia e la sensazione che, ad ogni passo nel Palazzo apostolico, sarebbe potuta accadere qualunque cosa! Con noi Carlo Feltrinelli, e Susan Pullman. Il 31 luglio Leone aveva incontrato Patti Smith. Ne scrivo sull’Osservatore Romano.
