Academic Tip #4:

Be nice to all the wonderful administrative assistants who coordinate and set up your meetings and who make the world go round.

Even if you've never met them before and just interact via email - tell them how much you appreciate their time and energies.

I think we wholly underestimate how much work can get done in a 30 min meeting (compared to a 1 hr meeting)

Academic Tip #29:

Create a personal ‘board of directors’.

This is 3-5 mentors who can each advise you on specific areas of your career (clinical, research, education, work-life balance, etc).

Why? No one person can fully advise on a modern academic career.
