The Environmental Seismology poster session is in full swing! Visit the 400+ block to see novel seismic applications in hazards, surface, cryospheric, atmospheric and all the other processes. #AGU23
Lab group lunch at #AGU23 yesterday!
They were joking about how infrequently I tweet (x?) these days, so we took a group photo… and then I forgot to post it. Better late than never!
Just over a week left to submit to your #AGU23 abstracts!
Join us for an integrated hillslope session with invited speakers @DavidGLitwin and @LeonardSklar, co-convened with @GeomorphWill, @thdoane and Seulgi Moon. https://t.co/inlGWdTxi2
✨Postdoc opportunity✨ in post-fire sediment transport processes related to hazards, bioturbation, water quality and geomorphic response to climate change!
Deadline June 30.
Please share!

@RiverChem@nanditabasu2@ChenxinLi2 Agreed—it’s hard to compare objectively given everything that’s happened in the last few years. I honestly don’t know what a “normal” TT experience would even look like. I know we’re not the only ones though!
@DrAcePugh@nanditabasu2@ChenxinLi2 I agree that a postdoc is less certain. But I think this is giving tenure requirements far too much credit. Lack of clear tenure requirements (publishing, teaching, mentoring etc) is common, and mentors are rare. The stresses are different—but it also isn’t a zero sum game 🤷🏻♀️
@nanditabasu2@ChenxinLi2 I should also add that I was miserable as a postdoc, especially early on—leaving your entire support network behind and juggling research with uncertain job applications is a very real struggle. It’s only in retrospect that I’ve come to appreciate all the freedom I had then.
@nanditabasu2@ChenxinLi2 I agree on the timeline/probability for job security, but anecdotally, I do think many of the tenure track profs I know (especially women/WoC) are far more stressed now than we were as postdocs. I certainly am. Definitely some sampling bias though, especially with the pandemic!
@nanditabasu2@ChenxinLi2 The tenure track is not job security… it’s just a (slightly, depending on field) longer period of time with more responsibilities + less free time and if you blow it you’re right back on the job market. There’s certainly privilege, but it’s not based on job security.

@Andrew_Akbashev@MarmolE6 For former students on an academic track, 4-5 years isn’t generally enough time to gain tenure or tenure equivalent status and be (relatively) safe from retaliation.
@jscheingross Woah. Have you run into any problems with the Google Docs integration? If that works smoothly we might have a winner... I have to restore an old version of my current word doc once a week because one of my students opens it in google drive and breaks all the mendeley citations.
I'm actually impressed at how spectacularly unusable the new version of Mendeley is.
Has anyone compared Zotero and Paperpile? Endnote sounds like an equal headache. Any other recommendations?
