http://chall-dreams.blogspot.com/2015/08/feedback-on-resume-tough-love.html
Dreams and hopes of a (former post doc) scientist. Sciencey blog with emotions, sometimes too personal, it's venting ;). Sunday, August 02, 2015. Feedback on resume - tough love. It's always easier to look at someone else's resume or CV and critique than your own. Always. I help a lot of people with the job applications, scanning their resumes and CVs, adding a few key words, giving suggestions on how to best " present yourself in line with the ad. Kill your darlings indeed. Anyhow, I got a good slap in ...

Grads, Engineering, Academia, Research, Students. Life after landing a Tenure Track position in engineering. Tuesday, August 30, 2011. The Economics of Academia (Part 1). Today, over at Engineer Blogs. I discuss a reader's question on the economics of academia.

So all that legacy code that I've built up over...

GEARS:: February 2012
http://gears-tt.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Grads, Engineering, Academia, Research, Students. Life after landing a Tenure Track position in engineering. Friday, February 17, 2012. Why a Postdoc is basically needed in Academia. Today, over at Engineer Blogs, I discuss why a. Postdoc is pretty much mandatory to succeed in academia. In a nutshell, YIAs are, in my opinion, supremely biased towards faculty that have had long postdoc stints which screw over faculty such as yours truly who didn't postdoc. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Prof-like Substance: Big meeting, small meeting
http://proflikesubstance.blogspot.com/2010/06/big-meeting-small-meeting.html
Monday, June 28, 2010. Big meeting, small meeting. I go to big meetings sometimes for a change and it's a good way to catch up with people I haven't seen in a while, but I find that I spend less time in the talks and more time chatting with people during the day. I'm not sure why that is, but big meetings get to be less about the presentations and more about socializing. June 28, 2010 at 12:09 PM. June 28, 2010 at 1:00 PM. Micro Dr. O.

Friday, July 9, 2010. Home agin, home again, jigidy jig. Whew, long couple of weeks. Feels like about a month. A lot happened while I was away, both at home. And in the bloggosphere.

Prof-like Substance: Time to reassess
http://proflikesubstance.blogspot.com/2010/07/time-to-reassess.html
Monday, July 19, 2010. We also have two new members joining the lab within the next 6 weeks and one graduating, so there will be a time of change to deal with as we incorporate the new people into the mix and figure out where they best fit and what new they can bring to the work we are doing. It also means saying goodbye to the lab's first student, which will be a landmark event in itself. July 19, 2010 at 4:51 PM. July 19, 2010 at 7:30 PM. Good luck with all the upcoming changes!

Prof-like Substance: If professor big shot can't land funding, am I screwed?
http://proflikesubstance.blogspot.com/2010/07/if-professor-big-shot-cant-land-funding.html
Friday, July 16, 2010. If professor big shot can't land funding, am I screwed? One individual who is at a prestigious UK uni has been without funding for two rounds now, and they are making him move to a smaller office. Talk about tough love. I would be in a broom closet with two other people right now if those rules were applied to n00bs at my uni. We will see, I suppose. Micro Dr. O. July 16, 2010 at 10:03 AM. July 16, 2010 at 10:16 AM.

Thursday, June 24, 2010. Why did it take so long to get internet on planes? Thank you whoever solved this issue. Micro Dr. O. June 24, 2010 at 9:18 AM. Didnt know about this.what airline? June 24, 2010 at 9:48 AM. From the title, I thought CPP had hijacked your blog. June 24, 2010 at 10:57 AM. Delta has WiFi on most flights at the moment. Its pay within the US, but Ive had it free for international. I think other airlines have gotten on board as well. June 24, 2010 at 11:00 AM. Youre paying for wifi!
