1/x A tale of the academic job market: I'm a 6th year PhD student at Texas A&M in behavioral neuro via the psych department. While I enjoy research, my main passion is teaching. So when it came to applying to jobs, I applied to mainly small liberal arts colleges (SLACs).

Can we trade JK Rowling for Betty White? Queen Betty wouldn’t be garbage like this.

@Best4Liberty @jonathanchait Does this apply to any other demographic, Landon? Do I get to be black if I like Motown and fancy myself in cornrows? What if I claim the authentic me has always been black and that you're being racist to me? Would that be OK, or would you find it ludicrous and deeply offensive?

Reposting this as April 15th approaches. Yes, getting rejected isn’t fun, but 1 is all it takes. 6 years in @tamupsycbrain and I’ve successfully defended and pretty much got my dream job. Sometimes life takes you where you don’t expect (for me, that was Texas).

You're never too old or too educated to question your use of affect/effect 😂

I think I’ve officially reached true adulthood: @NeuroCaitlin and I are wearing the same pants to work today… ones we got from Costco 😂

How is dissertation writing going, you ask? I'm having to wear my retainer while I'm at my desk because I can't stop clenching my jaw. 😅
