Deep dive? Not sure that's even worth a teensy sip.

Maybe I ought to just try it out then! Hope all is well!

not sure this is slightly less bad though. But we'll just have to agree to disagree

eh. depends on what is meant by "supporting". Providing a lab sans conceptual contribution to a project should not warrant authorship (yet it happens)

all fair arguments. I'm worried about implications for overworked t&p committees

And what about being second author on a 3 author nature paper, where the 3rd is a senior author whose lab the work was conducted in but otherwise did next to nothing and the first two authors are junior faculty working towards TT who contributed more or less equally?

what about collaborations that don't come out until during the TT process? Or team science work?
