An unexpected tip (that you probably won't need to worry about because you have a wonderfully full life): have a hobby you are ready to chat and share about. I was still in 'all I do is work and take care of my toddler' mode at my last interview and it made small talk with childless adults hard.

I think about this dichotomy often since I am working on mussel declines. I tell myself, "all we can do is try to make our little part of the world a little better for all", but it feels too small in the face of all the world's problems.

I am using my 'a postdoc and on the job market' status to complain. Writing is hard.

I'm thrilled someone quantified this!!

I've long suspected that women & other under-represented groups have to fight harder past reviewers and often shoot for lower-tier journals as a result.

If true, their articles would "overperform" for a given tier journal in terms of citations (🧵...)
