Ruminations: Life after Academia: January 2015
http://lifeafteracademic.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Ruminations: Life after Academia. This blog was inspired by others who are writing about their transition out of academia or who have already left and feel a positive transformation. After ten years of academic life while pursuing my PhD and teaching in Higher Education in the UK, I too am part of the growing number of post-PhDs who have decided to find happiness outside of the University walls. This blog charts that journey. Wednesday, 21 January 2015. How fast things can change. Links to this post.

8230; and what to do with the books? A post-academic muses about life and careers after the PhD. Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. Newer posts →. Acorns in the grass. September 27, 2014. Oftentimes these days, my 15-month-old falls asleep in the car on the way home. Lately I’ve taken to bringing my computer with me when I think she’ll do this, so I can type crooked-handedly on the keyboard, trying to answer an email, post to Facebook, or in one case, finish a cover letter. Don’t f...

Misconceptions and Missed Opportunities - Leaving Academia: December 2013
http://aimlessjones.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Misconceptions and Missed Opportunities - Leaving Academia. Monday, December 30, 2013. How do things look now? It's been a few months since the last update. The reason being, I didn't want to 'jinx' myself. It's not that I am superstitious, but I wanted to wait until things had cleared a bit. What is going on now? I ended up dropping in personally to the company I had been in contact with since January a couple of times, and landed an audition. Everything seemed to go well, but I was still a bit caut...

https://literaturelite.wordpress.com/2012/05/25/were-moving
I’m consolidating all of my blogs into one space – including literature lite! This new blog will be much more diverse – more like a personal manifesto than a scholarly journal. But I will keep blogging about literature – and hopefully make it even shorter than on this blog (I still think I got a little long-winded.). If you liked this site, you’ll like the new one much more – still literature, but also photography, music, and travel blogging. Check it out:. Http:/ monicamazing.wordpress.com/. Post was no...

Easy to track down. Right now, I’m going with the latter. I still don’t know what to write on this blog, of course. This situation reminds me of being a child, surrounded by all the very nice art supplies given to me by my artist aunt,. Maybe I need too much validation, but the most valuable part of the interview came when I asked the counselor what she thought about Finishing vs Not Finishing. Her response was that whether I finish my dissertation is less important than whether I. Like a weight has lift...

Misconceptions and Missed Opportunities - Leaving Academia. Tuesday, January 22, 2013. Good science or politics? First of all, let me define what I personally believe entitles someone to being included as an author on a manuscript:. 1 Direct writing of the paper. 3 Performing experimental work involved in obtaining the data for the paper. 4 The PI (that's the reason I have a job and it is their lab). A couple things have come to light during the past few years of my postdoc career:. But it didn't happen&...

Misconceptions and Missed Opportunities - Leaving Academia: How are you faring?
http://aimlessjones.blogspot.com/2015/02/how-are-you-faring.html
Misconceptions and Missed Opportunities - Leaving Academia. Wednesday, February 18, 2015. How are you faring? It's been a long time. A really long time. I'm still pressing on in the job that I first got when I left. It's good and bad. It's nice that it isn't a really big company so it's not like you have to steer a supertanker to effect change. It's not so nice that it's a small company that is lacking a lot of procedure. Sometimes, it's too short-sighted, as I talked about on the last post, but it reall...
