#FirstYear #GradStudent, I’m going to need you to go in during #WinterBreak to maintain the animal subjects. I’d do it, but I’ll be visiting family.

Sorrows & prayers for the faculty pushed out of FL & other red states….crossed fingers & prayers for my grad students, who I’ve advised to sweep onto the job openings like opportunistic carrion scavengers.

Assiduously taking notes as I watch holiday movies with the family. Even these relaxing and fun times can form the basis of a research paper or academic blog post. #Productive #FamilyTime

As a reviewer, the best gift I can give this holiday season is my candid and unvarnished feedback 🎁📝

Because we did not reach our publication goals, there will not be an end-of-term pizza party for the lab this semester.

Only productive grad students get pizza parties.

Filed a motion in Faculty Senate today to start paying the adjuncts in kibble. Purina only, they don’t deserve Blue Buffalo.

Really excited to see the music grad students play at the faculty holiday party tonight! No pay, just valuable practical experience & service for their CV 🥰

I advocate for my grad students to mask up so they protect themselves against illness & do not stop “maintaining productivity.”

Sent from my iPhone.

But yes, please mask up.
Masks are one of the simplest, most effective tools for safeguarding your health. Compact, portable, and highly cost-effective, they provide invaluable protection against illness—helping you avoid disruptions and maintain productivity.

Walked into my office this morning and someone had painted a Supernatural demon trap on the floor under my rug???

A graduate student dared to disagree with me in a group meeting earlier today. Ofc I was magnanimously polite during the meeting, but you can bet your sweet bippy I later kicked them straight back to cell counting with the undergrads.

Today, a #GradStudent broke down crying in my office. My empathy skills left me a long time ago so I just stared at them until they got the hell out.

My #postdoc was complaining about being overworked & not getting enough sleep, so I generously bought them a dog bed to place under their cubicle desk. I don’t know why they are so upset, it’s MEMORY FOAM

I’d love to advocate for my vulnerable colleagues in the social sciences and DEI but I’ve tried nothing and I’m all out of ideas 😥

There's a cousin who moved from New York City to Moorhead Kentucky because her boyfriend got a tenure track job, she praises the natural beauty of Kentucky through gritted teeth.

‼️⏰ Time to send a reminder to my #GradStudent to make sure to finish ghost-writing those #LettersOfRec

Dear Applicant,

While your #academic job talk was extremely well done, unfortunately, we decided to go with the person we already had in mind & that has preexisting connections to faculty.

Thank you for your time & for helping us maintain an illusion of fairness. Cheers!
