Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.
Remind you of anyone?

When the dismantlists talk about "trimming the fat" or "bloated" whatever relating to the federal government, remind them that there have been about the same number of federal employees since the 1960s.
Meanwhile US population has increased by ~70% and GDP has increased 29-fold.

I feel this in my bones. In early career, I had access to more support and flexible funding. As I transitioned to mid-career, not only did a lot of those buffers go away, I was taking on more institutional responsibility, including to fix systemic issues and protect more people.
I wish there was an easier way to communicate to early career people what being at the next stage is actually like.
You can describe it, but it’s like an embodied experience that’s very hard to help people really understand. There’s no analog.
