    Replying to @amandadeibert
    My head of department told me that over his dead body would he ever appoint a woman to the faculty. He’s dead, I’m a Distinguished Professor

    Replying to @HeyDrDukes and @FutureDrDukes
    Please report to your grad Dean. As a former @UofCalifornia grad dean, one of my biggest frustrations and sadnesses was when students suffered injustices in silence and never asked for help.

    Postdoc life: Less responsibilities than the professors, more independence than the grad students. Quite honestly, it was probably the best time of my life from a scientific standpoint.
