My quote of the day Here we stand in the middle of this new world with our primitive brain, attuned to the simple cave life, with terrific forces at our disposal, which we are clever enough to release, but whose consequences we cannot comprehend. Albert Szent- Gyorgi

How does decision-making for a full professor faculty hire work in your department?

Patricia L. Clark @ndbiochemist.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Senior (full professor) hiring in my department requires a positive vote from the existing full professors. Yet such a hire can have an enormous impact (positive or negative) on younger colleagues. Why do we keep calling asst profs “the future of the dept” but not including them in its shaping?

Are you aware of some that aren’t, other than the ones postponed during the initial communications freeze?

Well, I knit during the in-person meetings, too. Having something simple to do with my hands helps keep my brain focused. 🧶

Although I’m not a fan of NIH study sections on zoom, hanging out all day in comfy clothes with my dog is definitely a consolation prize. 🖤

Meaning, there are plenty of women making great contributions, but the Swedes made the right call on this one, IMO. I say this as someone who works close to this field and as a huge supporter of women getting the recognition they deserve.

Geez, Mark — way to pile on. 🙄

There are lots. 2 examples: Lynne Regan did some important early work, but moved into other areas. Tanja Kortemme (postdoc with Baker) works in protein design, though her work leans more to synbio. Baker’s contributions are most remarkable, tho, both for early leaps AND ongoing impact on the field.

He was my postdoc advisor. Amazing scientist, teacher and mentor.

I wish there was more credit to people who were the thin end of the wedge. The “First Black faculty in the University,” “First woman in the department,” “First blind person to get a doctorate in the institution,” and on and on. They made it easier for everyone to follow.

I’m teaching a semester-long graduate course on this topic right now, for the second time. Have you seen Claus Wilke’s awesome (and free online) book? A lot of my graphing content is drawn from it.
