"[F]rom the 1940s to the 1970s, a Bell Labs job was said to be just like working at a research university, except the pay was better, the equipment was more up-to-date, the machine shop was available for all your needs and you didn’t have to spend time teaching or applying for research grants."

The universities are: MIT, University of Pennsylvania, University of Virginia, University of Texas, Vanderbilt University, University of Arizona, Brown University, Dartmouth College

A yellow cardboard carton on a CVS shelf with brightly colored letters that say “squeeze me to hear me scream” and “statue of liberty chicken.” Inside the carton are hot pink, teal, and royal blue rubber chickens with googly eyes rendered like the Statue of Liberty, with their faces distressed and frozen in a shriek. They have tags around their necks that say “squeeze me to hear me scream”

Can’t decide whether these Statue of Liberty rubber chickens that say “squeeze me to hear me scream” are a little too on-the-nose for these times or if they’re perfect

Congratulations! 🎉😳

It is peak academic to just get so angry about something that you’ve been bottling up that you finally explode and

Congratulations! Great department!!

A somewhat floppy looking upside down heart partly colored in pink.

So glad my kids were drawing upside-down hearts today.

It’s too bad they didn’t have time to color this one in all the way…

If you have tenured and would share your own tenure application materials, I would love to build this section out on our Resources webpage! Please email me for eternal gratitude and as always, credit on the site: l.gabard-durnam@northeastern.edu
Please repost to help me reach folks to share!

Kudos to everyone who shares their materials! I aspire to do this but have not done as well as I'd like. @laurelgd.bsky.social is inspirational in this regard. 👏

OK now post the rest, I would totally read this

When I was a younger faculty, I kept wavering on whether I should apply for the Rising Star every year. And then when I finally worked up the courage to apply, I was no longer eligible. Lesson here is that you should not miss your shot and just apply! Don’t pray for someone to secretly nominate you!

That’s a fairly safe prediction in general

My bet is on short-term plasticity but then return to baseline. But we'll find out! I'm doing my best not to bias the results!!!!!

Update: Surgery went well, and when I woke up I had a manuscript accepted.

We are getting more than just a little bit of data. For example, to date: 10 sessions (~10 hours) of MRI, 10 sessions (~ 5 hours) of high density EEG, 16 sessions (~4 hours) low density EEG, 7 sessions (~ 7 hours) of fNIRS, 8x/day EMA for the past month.

Eventually, all data will be shared. 👍

We are using multiple modalities — including MRI, EEG, fNIRS, blood, saliva, accelerometry—to study mental health, brain plasticity, fitness, and more. I've been doing baseline measurements regularly for the past month, and will continue these during recovery.

I’m scheduled for surgery today on my Achilles tendon, followed by 2 weeks of no weight bearing.😵‍💫

So, like any good scientist, I got together 7 colleagues to study consequences of limb disuse.

ChatGPT is surprisingly bad at generating / explaining garden path sentences, and my students, who had a garden path question on their homework, will soon find that out 😅

If my experience in academia has taught me anything it's that logging in to my same account on my same computer requires 2FA *every time* lest someone hack in and see my course schedule, but the forgery-proof method for approving things is to paste in a JPG of one's signature into a Word document.

Has this been done before?
