We want to record a set of stimuli featuring children, thoughts on how to do this so they can be shared/reused? Does a parental release like for data sharing on e.g. Databrary suffice? Do you situate it inside a "task" so the consent process is clearer? #devscisky #psychsky

Tenure clock extensions are a great deal for the institution. Not so much for the faculty member
I'm already hearing rumblings from academic leaders that tenure clock extensions may be part of how early career researchers weather this new storm.
A reminder that clock extensions are not the easy solution some think them to be: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
We must do better by junior faculty.
