Tip from a journal editor: if you are late on a review, ask for an extension so we know when to expect it and so we can adjust those annoying auto reminders. I almost always would rather have a late review than no review.

Did you read all the papers? How on earth did you do this??? You truly are superhuman.
The brilliant Steve Luck (not yet on Bluesky) was awarded the UC Davis Prize yesterday by Chancellor Gary May. This is the highest honor UC Davis gives to a faculty member academicaffairs.ucdavis.edu/uc-davis-pri...

A hold over from when everything was done via usps and we couldn’t be nimble. Time to enter the modern era.
The first week of the term (this past week for me) is the worst. I need to remember not to have writing goals for such weeks so I don’t get discouraged
Letters are mostly not useful, however I have seen a few cases in which there were red flags in the letters that allowed us to avoid a big problem. I think they are an important piece, but agree they shouldn’t be required for all applicants.
Happy first day of the fall quarter for all who celebrate
I need it to ignore “month-old” 😂
Hmmmm… not perfect
Insurance will reimburse though, right?
And it begins again. Another offspring preparing to apply to grad school. It’s so enlightening to see it from this side. The privilege of being 3rd generation academic is real (and often really annoying for offspring).
How do you get codes?
Add oats! It makes it more pancake like.
Newly revised author guidelines at Infancy includes justifying sample size, data availability statement, and contribution roles statement. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal...
On this Monday of the last full week of summer (because quarter system starts late September), I’m looking at my list of unfinished summer goals and realizing I need another month…
Spread the word! We have 3 positions.
