The Unlikely Grad Student. A middle-aged mom of four goes back to grad school to study environmental issues. October 23, 2014. Don’t be too quick to judge. This post is written as a response to an article I saw on social media yesterday. A friend (not a scientist) linked to the following: the top 7 wackiest examples of government spending. First of all, $10,000 is peanuts (I’ll explain why in a moment). Finally, why would the Department of the Interior care about the growth rate of saltmarsh grass? First...

The Unlikely Grad Student. A middle-aged mom of four goes back to grad school to study environmental issues. May 22, 2015. If I have fallen off the writing wagon the last six months, I apologize deeply. Things have been crazy here: dealing with (a couple of fairly serious) issues with the children, job hunting, and–of course–finishing up the dissertation. And that’s when it started to hit me. I did it! Posted in the big scary dissertation. Laquo; I should knit…. On May 22, 2015. On August 4, 2015. You ar...

the secret | The Unlikely Grad Student
https://unlikelygrad.wordpress.com/2015/05/24/the-secret
The Unlikely Grad Student. A middle-aged mom of four goes back to grad school to study environmental issues. May 24, 2015. As anyone who’s in grad school has learned, the first part of a dissertation defense is open to the public; the part in which the committee questions the candidate is private. I always found this frustrating because, if I didn’t know what was coming, how could I prepare for it? Granted, this is a bit extreme, but how did I know that I wouldn’t end up in that situation? That evening, ...

The Unlikely Grad Student. A middle-aged mom of four goes back to grad school to study environmental issues. November 15, 2014. I should knit…. I’ve always wanted to learn to knit, particularly because I have trouble sitting still unless I’m doing something with my hands. I’ve tried learning but have yet to get the hang of knitting. A couple of days ago I got a fresh batch of bacterial strains from our collaborator. They arrived in Petri dishes on agar:. I’ve since used the “bacteria sweater&...You are c...

Why doing outreach is good–from a selfish point of view | The Unlikely Grad Student
https://unlikelygrad.wordpress.com/2014/10/31/why-doing-outreach-is-good-from-a-selfish-point-of-view
The Unlikely Grad Student. A middle-aged mom of four goes back to grad school to study environmental issues. October 31, 2014. Why doing outreach is good–from a selfish point of view. Most people I know in our department do outreach because they have to. You know, they (or their PI) put some blurb about it in the grant proposal, and now they have to follow through. Accordingly, I’ve heard it said that you should do the minimum amount of outreach that you can get away with. Baloney, I say. This is another...

The Unlikely Grad Student. A middle-aged mom of four goes back to grad school to study environmental issues. June 19, 2015. I have spent the last couple of weeks jumping through the bureaucratic hurdles to get my status at MyU switched from student to faculty.
