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. Sent from my iPhone.

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 Sent from my iPhone.

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. Sent from my iPhone.

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. Sent from my iPhone.

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 Sent from my iPhone.

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! Sent from my iPhone.
