A “Butt Load” does not refer to big bottoms but is actually a recognised unit measure. One butt load is equivalent to 126 gallons. It comes from either the old French ‘botte’ (boot) or the Italian ‘botte’ (barrel). It was used primarily to measure transports of alcohol at sea.

Just did my early voting. Get out there and participate y’all!

More goodies to recommend to families and schools so their understanding of intellectually gifted students is based on SOUND SCIENCE instead of nonsense. You made it to Paraguay @DoctorErinCat & @real_m_matthews, now we just need the book in Spanish!

Some of our editorial team had a chance to see each other in person at #AERA2022 🌞

Journal for the Education of the Gifted, Business Meeting #AERA22 @JenniferLJolly1 @real_m_matthews @TheHopeLab

#AERA2022 the round table session table numbers are way too small for legibility with no map of what tables are where, so we have to walk up to every single table to read them. Finally I found mine in the far corner despite its number being in the middle.

Going to #AERA2022 ? Check out the session with our own @JillAdelson & @real_m_matthews discussing open science from the editors' perspective! Open Science 201: Research Life Cycle From Various Stakeholder Perspectives Sun, April 24, 8:00 to 9:30am PDT, Torrey Hills AB

@real_m_matthews & I are proud of the #specialissues we've been able to publish in #GCQ during our tenure as Editors. This one was an exciting new format & on a critical issue. So much gratitude to @FrankCWorrell & @TheHopeLab for their work as Guest Editors & to all the authors.

We’re always happy to receive registered reports at GCQ!

Check out this chapter on the essentials of Ed Research from The Development of the High Ability Child book! Awesome for GT programs in particular and Ed Psyc programs in general. #Gifted #education #research @NAGCGIFTED @SENG_Gifted https://t.co/gJzRCf7J5X

One thing that was very important to Michael @real_m_matthews and me was that the book included the diversity of the multiple stakeholders in gifted education. Hence the sections called Eye for Diversity and Field Notes. #gifted https://t.co/ZljZLaJVCL
