Work has been crazy and I am definitely old. What I mean is that I feel the fatigue of increased workload the way I never used to when I was young. A week of 12-14-hour days for a proposal crunch? These days it takes me a week, if not more, just to physically recover. (Incidentally,…

Long time, no see, blogosphere! I am insanely busy, with no bandwidth for much other than SYENZ. So, for now, please take assorted nuggets of levity as a token of my appreciation. https://twitter.com/be_nMD/status/1369396659810140161?s=20 "There is a place in the heart that / will never be filled."

I am just going to give myself 10 min to write this post, so whatever comes out, comes out. I am in a time crunch over a proposal, which also means that every other facet of my life must demand much more from me than usual. Over the last several days I spent 1-2 hours…

Coming down from the adrenaline high of an in-person lecture, combined with finally having had something to eat, I am now semi-comatose and thus the evening work shift cannot yet begin. Hence, a blog post! *** Regarding the fine art of not giving a f*ck and all that. I wonder how life is for my…

Dear xykademiqz, I’m reaching out as I’m not sure where to turn and the anonymity of the blogosphere may be helpful here. I’m an assistant professor who was trained in a field with pretty equal gender representation up until the postdoctoral level and studied in a pretty racially diverse city. I’ve moved to a field…

Seems like there’s never any time for a full post, but such is pandemic/academic (pandcademic? with a silent d?) life. This year started well with respect to research papers; one out, one accepted, two likely to be accepted by the end of the month. This after a slow 2020 where my grad students (and, let’s…

♦ Teaching in person this coming semester. Looking forward to interacting with students, feeling bad for them, and let’s face it, myself, too, in the light of incessant saliva-based testing that is now required in order to access any building. In the fall we didn’t have anyone get sick in class, all positive cases were…

I chatted with DH today about our childhoods. Mine often feels like another life, or like it happened to someone else. Perhaps that’s how everyone feels. As I wrote here and there on the blog, I had primary school (equivalent of elementary plus middle, 8 years total), the placement into which was solely based on…
