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? 1107
Dr. Maria Holland @mholla.bsky.social · 13/03/2025Wow, 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 . . . . 000

Dr. Maria Holland @mholla.bsky.social · 02/01/2024A 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 🙄 010
