Ran this LinkedIn poll last week. When burnout is this widespread, you are not the problem. It’s systemic.

Ready to do all the things you love—teaching, research, mentoring, writing—in a context that gives you schedule and geographic flexibility + clients who respect you? DM me.

This banger from the academia / writing / research meme stash definitely has wider applicability but I do really like using it for coaching, mentoring, and workshop activities when we talk about the importance of saying 'no' to things as researchers. #academicchatter #academicsky #PhDchat

UVA just formally agreed to:

- BAN transgender people from bathrooms matching their identity
- BAN diversity statements in hiring
- BAN mentoring programs for underrepresented groups
- BAN training programs that discuss white privilege

#academicsky #edusky
UVA agreed to the "Guidance for Recipients of Federal Funding Regarding Unlawful Discrimination" (link down thread). UVA pays nothing and does not get an outside monitor (unlike Columbia).

Critically, this doesn't stop the feds from opening new inquiries.

A nice short article in The Atlantic for academics who are not gaining joy from their work: The Only Career Advice You’ll Ever Need by Arthur C. Brooks. I use it in peer mentoring and folks look at me like I'm nuts. But I really try to live this. #AcademicSky

My mentee just published his first peer-reviewed article as a high school senior!🦠🔬 🎊

It's been a privilege to see how much he grew as a research over 9 months.

I've been closely mentoring the PhD student since she was in first year. Over the last four years, she's gone from "I don't think I'm cut out for uni" to "I'm going to do a PhD and pursue an academic career" #AcademicSky

Saying yes is overrated!

Ten years ago, I said yes to everything. That's toxic.

Conference presentations.
Committee invitations.
Student mentoring.
Review requests.

I thought it would accelerate my career.
Instead, it nearly destroyed my sanity.

💔 Higher ed is collapsing—programs cut, budgets slashed, jobs disappearing. You’ve given everything, but it’s falling apart.

What if your research, writing, and mentoring skills could build a business that gives you freedom?

Now, I love the field that I work in. I breathe/think/hear audio and acoustics. I love doing research and supervising/mentoring graduate students. The things above, however, got me into thinking: Shouldn’t there be more to life than academia. Is the struggle still worth it? #academicsky

Mentorship needs to be celebrated & rewarded. We do just that with the Nature Awards for Mentoring in Science.
Earlier today, in Abuja, we celebrated the 2024 winners - Professors Andrew Prentice, Adesola Ogunniyi & Oluwatoyin Odeku. Congratulations! 🏆🏆🏆

You’ve already proven yourself a thousand times.

Degrees. Publications. Grants. Mentoring.

You don’t need to “earn” the right to build a business—you already have every skill you need.

Now you just need the courage to use them.

Gary Ruvkun also highlighted the key role of the lab in #mentoring each other. I absolutely learned so much from those amazing people around me in the Ruvkun lab. What this undersells is his uncanny ability to recruit and cultivate a creative environment. No easy task!

You already have the foundation: critical thinking, communication, and mentoring skills. Now, add leadership tools and strategic planning to make the jump to administration with confidence.

A #PhD is more than just research. It helps you become a more complete scholar. It's about #teaching, #SciComm, research, public speaking, writing, mentoring and training students, project management...it's the time you discover which of those things you really want to pursue!
