Research into Research Funds. Just another shout into the ether. Might Be a Problem. Posted by Dance under Uncategorized. I live in a 1928 house built from a Sears kit, and while the landlady renovated the kitchen, the bathroom seems pretty close to original. So it’s got a shower conversion that consists of hanging some metal racks from the ceiling to hold a shower curtain around the clawfoot tub. I cannot see any empty screwholes on the shower curtain rack, but I am concerned. When Is the Essay Due?

We can sleep later. Another untenured biologist navigating science and the world. Those shoes are just covered with bacteria. While there are many reasons I can't, and wouldn't want to compete with Dr. Isis. Shoe of the week, I felt I had to post this pair. I saw on Etsy. There are many creative people in the MSOE - Mad Scientists of Etsy. And some of the creations make perfect gifts for the hard-to-buy-for scientists in your life. Ooh those are cute shoes :). 3/30/10, 7:53 PM. Science fit for a princess.

we can sleep later: Failures of Peer Review, Part 2
http://wecansleeplater.blogspot.com/2009/04/failures-of-peer-review-part-3.html
We can sleep later. Another untenured biologist navigating science and the world. Failures of Peer Review, Part 2. I've been confronting a few failures of peer review recently, and I think it's time to revive peer reviewing posts. Like most failures of peer review, it may very well be the editors who dropped the ball and not the reviewers - or a combination of the two. 5/14/09, 7:12 PM. Successful Researcher: How to Become One. 5/15/09, 1:05 PM. Yeah, that's depressing. 5/17/09, 5:44 PM. Failures of Peer...

we can sleep later: two cultures, two deadlines.
http://wecansleeplater.blogspot.com/2009/05/two-cultures-two-deadlines.html
We can sleep later. Another untenured biologist navigating science and the world. Two cultures, two deadlines. While many are talking and blogging about the two cultures. These days, I want to highlight the gulf between our academic disciplines with an article from the Chronicle of Higher Education. On the attempts to speed up publication in the humanities. It's not an apples-to-apples comparison between the fields: the publications being discussed are the peer review themselves. 5/15/09, 3:02 PM. The gr...

we can sleep later: friendly funding
http://wecansleeplater.blogspot.com/2009/06/friendly-funding.html
We can sleep later. Another untenured biologist navigating science and the world. Many congratulations go out to a friend who has just secured external funding for a very cool (non-biological) research project. I'm exceedingly happy for him! Since the funding is coming from the Space Vehicles Directorate, this makes him, at least temporarily, a rocket scientist. At least some of the grants we're all writing are getting funded. it brings me hope. 9/28/09, 10:33 PM. 2/3/10, 3:05 PM. I do still exist. The c...

We can sleep later. Another untenured biologist navigating science and the world. Lab meeting this week is going to be a CV workshop, which is something I haven't done before, and isn't something I ever experienced as a student. but always struck me as a good idea. Application documents can always benefit from other pairs of eyes, and who better to help guide your CV than people who work in the same field, on similar questions who might have already solved common problems? And I do want to get as much mi...

http://wecansleeplater.blogspot.com/2009/05/youngest-peer-reviewers-are-often.html
We can sleep later. Another untenured biologist navigating science and the world. The youngest peer reviewers are often the harshest. Illustrated by recent articles in the Chronicle. While I can't comment on otter research, the complaints of the humanities scholar about how graduate students read texts ring true for young scientists too. Why is it that so many graduate students are reflexively critical of what they read? Personally, I think we need that "arrogance" to keep us on our toes. 5/17/09, 5:39 PM.

we can sleep later: April 2009
http://wecansleeplater.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
We can sleep later. Another untenured biologist navigating science and the world. Join academia, see the world. While many others, apparently, are at Experimental Biology. This week, I'm off to a small meeting in Europe. And while there are many reasons I am now a scientist, the amount of travel required by the job is absolutely one of them. My family didn't travel much when I was growing up, and my traveling for science also started slowly and unglamorously. my first conference was in scenic Detroit.
