For sure. I feel like 1 conference a year is max now, when before I could do multiple. Have to be extra selective.

Academic societies: Work life balance is so important!

Also academic societies: let’s have conferences on the weekend so we can maximally intrude on your life and screw over your partners when there isn’t any childcare!

Officially starting my new position in a few weeks (yay!!) and I find myself “nesting” in our new home… is there a word for doing this pre-job instead of pre-baby? 🤔

Laughs, pizza, and bittersweet transitions with this fantastic group of humans. Feeling very lucky to have spent the last few years sciencing with them by my side 🖤

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.

But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.

See you soon, NYC.

Yep. Not being “helpful” and focusing on your own shit == being a bitch 🙄

In a study of professors, women got 378 new work requests over 4 weeks vs 118 for men. Women spent more time on service, advising & teaching; men on research. Orgs should track who is taking extra duties & ensure they are rewarded and distributed fairly. www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...
