Dr. Dad, PhD: Sometimes I hate collaborations
http://drdadphd.blogspot.com/2015/08/sometimes-i-hate-collaborations.html
Dr Dad, PhD. Sunday, August 2, 2015. Sometimes I hate collaborations. When you agreed to review my last submitted manuscript, I stupidly thought you would actually review it prior to resubmission. This research is your specialty and something I've never worked on. Yes, you are entitled to a vacation, but I am also entitled to an email reply. Two weeks of pleading for help and still no comments is not exactly inspiring. Dr Dad, PhD. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Dr Dad, PhD. East Coast, United States.

Dr. Dad, PhD: Why am I afraid of an industry job?
http://drdadphd.blogspot.com/2012/03/why-am-i-afraid-of-industry-job.html
Dr Dad, PhD. Monday, March 19, 2012. Why am I afraid of an industry job? So, I've started to explore my options a little bit. I know that I will be able to stay in my current lab only until the end of the year. 1) Wait to hear if my fancy K award is likely to be funded (followed by groveling as I scrounge up a way to keep eating until the checks arrive. 2) Apply for another, less cool K award. Employ same strategy as above. 3) Explore industry options. Why does that last one feel odd to me? Dr Dad, PhD.

Dr. Dad, PhD: Paternity Leave
http://drdadphd.blogspot.com/2012/05/paternity-leave.html
Dr Dad, PhD. Tuesday, May 22, 2012. I just received a notice from the National Postdoc Association detailing a postdoc's guide to paternity leave. And I was forced to reflect back to my experiences and ask a few questions. My questions are as follows:. 1) What are people's perceptions of paternity leave? A sign of weakness in the current generation or a sign of parental involvement? I'd argue for the latter, but I'd like to hear the opinion of others. 2) How much time would you take off? Dr Dad, PhD.

Dr. Dad, PhD: Surprise - you don't have a job here anymore!
http://drdadphd.blogspot.com/2015/07/surprise-you-dont-have-job-here-anymore.html
Dr Dad, PhD. Monday, July 13, 2015. Surprise - you don't have a job here anymore! Normally, I'm a big fan of surprises. Well, at home, at least. Work surprises, at least in my limited experience, are not good. Here's my latest example:. Sitting in a meeting with my boss, I'm asked "so, does the lab know you're leaving at the end of the month? To which I responded "Wait what? I didn't know that yet. I was told not to worry and to wait and see because they were trying to figure something out.". Dr Dad, PhD.

Dr. Dad, PhD: I think my allergies are trying to kill me
http://drdadphd.blogspot.com/2012/03/i-think-my-allergies-are-trying-to-kill.html
Dr Dad, PhD. Wednesday, March 14, 2012. I think my allergies are trying to kill me. The one bright spot is that I can take OTC medicines to knock it down, but I hate being dependent on drugs. Oh, screw it - time to head to the pharmacy! Dr Dad, PhD. Dr Dad, PhD. March 14, 2012 at 1:33 PM. Wow, not to endorse any specific product or anything, but Loratadine sure works fast. Im already feeling better. Less body aches, more clear headed. woo-hoo! March 15, 2012 at 10:55 AM. Dr Dad, PhD. Dr Dad, PhD. Cheaper...

Dr. Dad, PhD: When it rains, it pours....
http://drdadphd.blogspot.com/2015/07/when-it-rains-it-pours.html
Dr Dad, PhD. Thursday, July 16, 2015. When it rains, it pours. I can't make this stuff even if I tried. Our house got fried in an electrical storm. May have been a direct lightening strike, but I'm not sure how I'd know since there weren't any scorch marks on the house. And yes, I checked. Near as we can tell, a massive surge came into our home through the cable to fry our tvs, pc, telephones, and garage opener. Surge protectors didn't help, and we have a $500 deductible for our renter's insurance. Origi...

Dr. Dad, PhD: Ah yes indeed it's fun time...
http://drdadphd.blogspot.com/2013/08/ah-yes-indeed-its-fun-time.html
Dr Dad, PhD. Wednesday, August 28, 2013. Ah yes indeed it's fun time. One thing I forgot in all this self-centered turmoil - the lab should be fun. Without a sense of humor the years of toil can quickly turn to torture. Thank you to a friend (you know who you are) for reminding me. And before you ask, yes, I have totally sung to my cells. And I swear they respond to it. Because they can't, they won't, and they don't stop. Dr Dad, PhD. August 29, 2013 at 6:12 PM. September 3, 2013 at 6:35 PM. Dr Dad, PhD.

Dr. Dad, PhD: If it doesn't kill you....
http://drdadphd.blogspot.com/2015/07/if-it-doesnt-kill-you.html
Dr Dad, PhD. Wednesday, July 8, 2015. If it doesn't kill you. Sooo Last month I came across an interesting article. Meant to help you figure out how much your job/work environment sucked. Being a masochist I had no choice but to take the quiz. While it's not necessarily surprising, it is somewhat deflating to have your a survey point out how stupid you were for choosing to work where I did. Oh well, live and learn. Dr Dad, PhD.
