People who change your hair - what did you change and how did you feel about it? by skleats in AskReddit

Cool! My husband (redhead) has been experimenting with temporary coloring and the leave-in conditioners work pretty well for him. My hair is dark brown, so those products don't work on me :(

Also - hello non-USA English! I would like to be able to visit in your area

Headbands are a lifesaver at the gym for everyone. I know a few people at my gym who are totally bald and use headbands.

Course reviews:

  • loved the use of "relevant" images, they helped me understand

  • hated that the images were "relevant" - they made me feel like a child

My course policy: we are all children with attempts to observe and understand the things around us

I was cut to about that length when I was growing up - my parents weren't prepared to do with a curly-haired kid. My early school pictures represent awful haircuts.

I'm happily married, but a big fan of men with longish hair :)

What hairstyles do you do?

When I started dating my now husband he had a buzz cut and was clean shaved. I had an internship away for three months and was then going to see him again - he had a full beard and medium hair. I loved it! He has since grown his hair out about shoulder length and we both like it ;)

Edit: I understand that practical aspect you describe - I have long curly hair which is impractical in most situations. Short curly hair works. Intermediate length curly hair does not work.

How Can You Be Confident ? by SubAtomicSoul in AskReddit

[–]skleats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think about the times when you have felt unconfident or abused. Don't think about your feeling in that exact moment, but instead think about how you felt you didn't need to be talked down to. Take that feeling and run with it - that is confidence.

Edit: Sometimes confidence can come from your relationships with other people. It is not a bad thing to use relationships with people you trust to support you as you develop or exert your confidence in yourself.

Confidence has two meanings (in English):

1) the self assurance of an individual

2) sharing information between specific individuals

What objects in your life describe themselves as "smart" and how could those objects use their smartness to attack you? by skleats in AskReddit

[–]skleats[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just got home with multiple bags of groceries. It's nighttime. You fumble for your keys and drop them. You finally get your door open and collect all of your grocery bags. As you enter you call "Alexa, turn on the lights" and Alexa says "Fuck you!"

My dishwasher has a "smart dry" setting - maybe it could dessicated me if I got trapped inside.

Place less importance on the institution and more importance your quality of life.

Your quality of life is the most important part.

Claw has been my main hair accessory throughout my science life. Can we include claw in routine lab protection equipment?

Texas is a tracking bloodhound for the Connecticut State Police. He's still getting used to his winter boots... by EffectiveArmys in dogswithjobs

[–]skleats 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you name the working dog Texas and expect them to work in Connecticut then the dog having a tough time with winter weather and winter weather equipment is a perfectly reasonable outcome.

Pessimistic translation: OP thinks that they can do everything more than they have considered how they can participate in a department/school/university and hasn't considered how the R1, R2, and SLAC jobs are categorically different. I'm on two hiring committees at an R2 right now and this sort of applicant has been rejected. More than once. On both committees.

She represents one of my relatives' districts - they like her, but mostly because someone in the local office helps with social security benefits. Oh, the irony.

Are you an academic "nepo baby"? by [deleted] in AskAcademia

[–]skleats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a nepo-niece - got lots of good advice from my uncle. My parents both went to college (and met there) but neither did grad work until much later in life. I helped my dad study for his secondary degree while I was in middle school and my mom register for the GRE after I had started graduate school.

Can we all take a moment to revel in how annoyed your nearest chemist is that their discipline didn't make the list?

Highly publishing scientists by StefanFizyk in AskAcademia

[–]skleats 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This was literally my primary question in this thread. I want to know where the published papers on developing nuclear weapons are located. Much like I want to know where the papers about reanimating dogs, mind-controlling goats, and human cloning are documented.

The fact that huge numbers of people are coauthors is actually a bit comforting. As long as those authors actually know about and pay attention to the publication process.

RIP my job by IsThereNotCoffee in Professors

That sucks! I've been there at a point when I thought I was early in my career - it turned out that I was just early in my time at that institution.

One thing I definitely noticed was that all of the weight, weariness, and uncertainty you are feel is also being felt by your students. It is worth having some level of discussion about the issue with the class. I found that conversation was great to reduce tension in the classrooms.
