Tip from a journal editor: if you are late on a review, ask for an extension so we know when to expect it and so we can adjust those annoying auto reminders. I almost always would rather have a late review than no review.

It’s ok! Ask for extensions. Editors often would rather have reviews a bit late than not at all

The brilliant Steve Luck (not yet on Bluesky) was awarded the UC Davis Prize yesterday by Chancellor Gary May. This is the highest honor UC Davis gives to a faculty member academicaffairs.ucdavis.edu/uc-davis-pri...

That worked? My mom did this with ChatGPT a couple of years ago and it just made stuff up.

Both children applying to grad programs this round. I’m amazed at how much harder it is than back when we used typewriters and usps. Does every program have to ask for the same info in a different number of essays with different word limits?

Inquiring minds want to know: what was the announcement?

Maybe not 47%, but it has increased. There are more journals and the expectation is higher even in infancy research.

A hold over from when everything was done via usps and we couldn’t be nimble. Time to enter the modern era.

The first week of the term (this past week for me) is the worst. I need to remember not to have writing goals for such weeks so I don’t get discouraged

Letters are mostly not useful, however I have seen a few cases in which there were red flags in the letters that allowed us to avoid a big problem. I think they are an important piece, but agree they shouldn’t be required for all applicants.

And it begins again. Another offspring preparing to apply to grad school. It’s so enlightening to see it from this side. The privilege of being 3rd generation academic is real (and often really annoying for offspring).

On this Monday of the last full week of summer (because quarter system starts late September), I’m looking at my list of unfinished summer goals and realizing I need another month…
