I made a thing (with help from my googly overlords).

I can proudly say that I'm a far better researcher & educator than I am a web designer or self-promoter.

(I'm also a better researcher & educator than I am a proofreader so PLEASE holler at me if I wrote anything nonsensical)

@DrTCombs This is a little clunky: "disseminating policy- and practice-practice oriented research"

@DrTCombs Not sure who your target audience is for your page, but this is pretty wonky: "the environmental determinants of travel behavior and vehicle use"

@DrTCombs The way you're using hyphens here I have only seen before in Afrikaans. I would just insert the word "oriented." It reads more clearly that way, e.g. "I conduct policy-oriented research and practice-oriented research," or "I conduct research that is both policy-oriented and practice-oriented." FWIW, the differentiation between the two is fuzzy for most people. If "practice" means the implementation of the policy, then it's "research on policy and its practical implementation."

@HayiWena @DrTCombs I assume this means “policy-practice and practice-practice oriented” which is the only way I’ve seen “a- and b-c” used but agree about tightening it up

@dx @HayiWena doh. thank you! fixed it, as I'm not at all sure what practice-practice is.

@DrTCombs @dx @HayiWena Honestly as an art major neither the practice of practicing or the practicing of practice strike me as unusual pursuits

@pleaseclap @dx @HayiWena what are your thoughts on the policy of practicing practice though?

@DrTCombs I would specify *which* "Lincoln University". There are several, at least two of which are HBCUs(!), though from the "Faculty of..." formulation I suspect you mean one of the ones outside the US...
