And...it's here. UW announced tenure clock extension options for junior faculty last week. Leadership frames this as part of their deep support to junior faculty. But how, exactly, is more time (& delayed promotion) are meaningful support in response to reduced & uncertain research resources?

Wow, I really wasn't expecting this paper to become so relevant again, so soon - but I've been hearing conversations about extending tenure clocks AGAIN. What about a four-year clock extension? 🤔 I'm sure there could be no downsides . . . .

New paper I'm extremely proud of: "Extended time, elevated expectations: The unappreciated downsides of pausing the tenure clock". We argue that extensions should be treated as a safety net, not insurance policy (1/6) www.pnas.org/doi/full/10....

A two-proof day. First Springer removed all the italics from in vivo/ex vivo/in silico, then OUP replaced all my spelled-out numbers with digits (e.g. "2 local peaks" and "8 species"). You see, academic publishing costs so much because of the aDdEd VaLuE 🙄

I love Gradescope in general, but their data visualization is COMICALLY bad.
histogram showing that all 10 students scored between 0 and 95 points.

Behind every seemingly sane early stage professor, there is a slack of other ESIs shitposting through it with her...you know who you are.

why would researchgate name itself after an academic scandal that hasn't happened quite yet

Just awarded my first R01! With our collaborator Hiroshi Kawasaki, we're going to investigate the role of astrocytes in cortical folding via a combined computational and experimental approach!

A wise man once said “every plan is a tiny prayer to Father Time”. (B. Gibbard, 2005) But these days w/little kids it’s more like “every plan is a tiny prayer to our immune systems” and let me tell you they are an uncaring lot.
