Average Professor: December 2008
http://averageprofessor.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 12, 2008. I have decided I am done with this colleague. The last straw for me was very minor, just another example of his strange behavior. My particular little research area. Which is why I'm a co-PI on both projects. Although, have I mentioned that I am not technically a co-PI on the project with Dr. M? So I said to the writer, there's a good bit of overlap, both have a part that deal with [my research], just with slightly different [nuance]. So the primary connection of his project to...

Average Professor: Dr. M, again.
http://averageprofessor.blogspot.com/2008/05/dr-m-again.html
Tuesday, May 20, 2008. Dr M, again. So, this guy. He is requesting (demanding? I feel very pushed around. Selection of an advisor should be between student and advisor, and not be demanded by a third party. Right? The departmental graduate program committee chair advised me that if it's not going to pose any clear advantage to the grad student, then, we should not play games with his committee, and should leave things as they are.

Average Professor: March 2009
http://averageprofessor.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 10, 2009. The other day I ran across a recent journal article that was relevant to one of my grad students, so I forwarded it to her in case she had not seen it already. I have never had this specific struggle, but I do understand the struggle to find an internal consistency in your attitudes and philosophy on life. Particularly as a very new assistant professor, I felt some of this type of friction. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Im recently tenured associate professor at...

Average Professor: Dr. Micromanagement strikes again
http://averageprofessor.blogspot.com/2007/04/dr-micromanagement-strikes-again.html
Wednesday, April 18, 2007. Dr Micromanagement strikes again. You may remember him from a previous post. We're doing another round of proposals, and on one of them, a revision came back from Dr. M with a certain catch phrase (not really related to the work we're doing) inserted in the title. That was news to me and to my colleague Kenneth, the original author of this proposal. Absorb his strategy of treating colleagues like students). Also say, PS. Kenneth says 'buzz off'". I did not.). Im recently tenure...

Average Professor: Management of senior colleagues
http://averageprofessor.blogspot.com/2007/02/management-of-senior-colleagues.html
Monday, February 12, 2007. Management of senior colleagues. We're working on another proposal related to this project, but with the focus of this one squarely in my area of expertise. Dr Micromanagement is again making me crazy by:. 1 Demanding that he be listed as the responsible party for all objectives in the proposal, despite the fact that most of them are way, way outside his area of expertise, and despite the fact that I am the PI on this proposal,. He'd have written the whole thing himself. Im rec...

Average Professor: February 2009
http://averageprofessor.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 24, 2009. It's tough to be an undergrad trying to drum up letters of reference, I'm sure. Your interactions with potential letter writers are often quite limited and you probably have no idea what a person would or could or should write about you in a letter. And it's hard to. Letters of reference. I think other people must struggle with this as much as I do (or, maybe they don't but they should? Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

What Killed the Lechuza Polo Horses? | Guadalupe Storm-Petrel

Environmental science, developmental biology, and natural history. Posted by: barn owl. April 21, 2009. What Killed the Lechuza Polo Horses? Why is polo such an expensive sport, with international-level competition accessible only to the extremely wealthy? Campeonata Mundial de Polo – photo by edcarsi under Creative Commons License. At this point I should explain some polo rules and terminology. First, “low-goal” vs. “high-goal” … what’s up with that? There have been incidents of numerous horse fatalitie...

http://wecansleeplater.blogspot.com/2009/05/youngest-peer-reviewers-are-often.html
We can sleep later. Another untenured biologist navigating science and the world. The youngest peer reviewers are often the harshest. Illustrated by recent articles in the Chronicle. While I can't comment on otter research, the complaints of the humanities scholar about how graduate students read texts ring true for young scientists too. Why is it that so many graduate students are reflexively critical of what they read? Personally, I think we need that "arrogance" to keep us on our toes. 5/17/09, 5:39 PM.
