Agreed! When I see a job ad asking for it, I assume they want a mid-career person, since this number doesn't really capture much. Most of my cool papers have come out in the last 1.5 years! Even if people are sprinting to cite them it's not going to be reflected quickly

Should be asking for my pbu (planets blown up) index... smh

We all need to ponder the survivorship bias plane image some more is all I'll say!!

haha yep!! I still need to be able to fund myself when my contract ends in September, which means I have to go scrabbling for the scraps in this year's budget! I don't have time to wait for things to get better 👍

We cannot frame an enhanced budget as a "return to normal," when for many people in planetary science the chance to return to normal has been lost.

It can only help, I think 😂

Have you tried just putting more Titan in your proposal
