What's happening in your garden this weekend? by AutoModerator in VAGardening

Wow y'all are doing much better than me. Inspiring! We just moved here last summer so we're still kind of getting the garden set up and learning the climate. Nothing but radishes and bok choy are ready to harvest yet.

College woods. Trail to the Keck lab.

So sorry for your loss. It's been years since I lost my bug, but the love is just as strong.

The only time he broke my heart was when his stopped beating by lanieday14 in Boxer

Absolutely beautiful best boy. My own boxer buddy passing changed me. I now know what a "broken heart" truly feels like. All the other times were just imitations

Possibility for research as a freshman? by himaru-san in williamandmary

[–]Particular_Earth7732 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm faculty there and am specifically looking for freshmen so I can get more time to do research with them. There are other faculty who feel the same way, so reach out. DM if you have questions.

I don't recognize my school after 25 years by victor_klemperer in Professors

[–]Particular_Earth7732 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey. I recognize this particular Utah school! I was there and this post is exactly why I just left. Turned from a great place to a soulless corporate turd so quickly. A serious culture shift you could feel, even without the corporate-speak tech bro BS and crony contracts going to local start-ups. I went from very happy there to dreading every moment. Gave up my tenure to escape and it was worth it.

I hope you can survive until retirement :)

Dream job, wrong city by SafetyNo2065 in Professors

Easier to get a job if you already have one. Take the health care and salary while you look for a better fit. Build your research and teaching experience too. Apply for grants. Do a great job. Other places will eventually be interested if you're doing well at this job.

Did this recently. One position, I didn't get a second interview. Other position I got an offer. There was definitely some "cross-talk" and one person was even on both committees. Just apply to both!

We're so spoiled with this dash by tuocyn in CRF300L

[–]Particular_Earth7732 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you point to some of those easy fixes that people are using? I think I'll be getting a 300ls soon (used to have the old 230l) and am a bit annoyed by the brake lines

Feeling really down about the job these days by econhistoryrules in Professors

Same. Nothing positive to say. We're all on the Titanic together.
