Happy Thanksgiving! 🍁 Gorgeous weather for my daily constitutionals, plus vegan pumpkin chili, cornbread stuffing, and Brussels sprouts with pistachios and maple syrup glaze. And caught up on The Crown. Scratchy throat means trouble but otherwise, a great day.
Took less than 24 hours for this paper to be desk rejected. Bummer, especially for the student. But we persevere. This is part of the process and we’ll make it a learning opportunity. Happy Thanksgiving 🍁 #AcademicSky#AcWriMo
HEY. If you are 40+, within driving distance of Raleigh, NC, and have experienced covid symptoms within the last 72 hours, you are URGENTLY needed for a clinical trial of at-home covid treatment! www.wakeclinical.com/study/covid-...
#AcWriMo Day 21 was a good one! Helped a Ph.D. student finish & submit her first paper - big accomplishment! 🎉 And now 2.5/3 goals for the month ✅ Given how many other deadlines there have been this month, I’m kinda shocked that I’m on track to achieve all of these by 12/1 ⏬ But pleased 🤓
And I definitely don’t mean “oh just read, that will fix it.” But it can help me reconnect to the purpose, illustrate that I’m not the only one interested in a topic, & help generate creative ways forward. Also just slows things down & gives me space to think. “Stimulating” is a great encapsulation.
That includes connecting with colleagues for support - I second this suggestion!
So sorry. You’re in good company, clearly! I try to remember that “research” is a huge, diverse category & we need all kinds to advance knowledge. Very few of us are curing cancer but we make valuable contributions. If the value isn’t clear, I take extra time to read & connect with existing work.
