Ok last bit of work on computer - grading and submitting before boarding! Haneda free wifi is fast!

Today I had 6/45 and then 5/45 students after the lunch break. It's so disheartening when you show up and try your best to teach, despite being so busy with piling deadlines... #academicsky #proflife
Happy women’s day! Noone is free until everyone is free. #womeninstem #womensday #march8th #proflife 🧪🌐🏔️
Forgot to share this yesterday, but I submitted the second round of revisions to my in progress paper. Yay!
Also, I realized this morning I left in some rather pointed comments in response to that critical review. I am curious if the editor will say anything? Probably not, but we’ll see […]
Not so much fun, sitting in hotel room in Kobe, grading papers. I should get out.

TIL "band spectra" is not only a chemistry term; there exists a "Band Spectra". My life is rich is esoterica.

I did not plan on spending my evening updating my #Zotero library and reading a 1914 Letter to the Editor from Henry Moseley, but here I am. Living the dream? Actually, yes. I think I am.

Reviews received at 6:10pm. Second round of revisions mostly done by 9:30pm. I won't submit them tonight, but this week. Amazingly, all the parts I was worried about? No critique at all. I guess it was ok! Maybe. We'll see if the editor likes this new revision. At least I am hopeful it will not […]
The second round reviews are back for my current in progress paper.
Reviewer 1: Minor revision
Reviewer 2: Do not publish.
My history of divided peer reviews continues. 😆

Giving an exam this morning. Twenty minutes into the exam and one student is still absent… the one who apologized Monday for being routinely late for class. 😣

Two bowls with covers on a long dish with sashimi and a small bowl with soy sauce in it
A quick peek inside a bowl with two pieces of really well marbled beef, some mushrooms + a piece of potato
A small dish with a rectangle of green spinach tofu, topped with uni and salmon roe
Conference "banquet" #dinner
Just a quick glimpse. More later

So I could tell love you with big black and white squared, tiled flow and comfortable looking old old style red fabric chairs, + a big ceramic to the left in a rock garden sort of area next to a window.
One side of the room with a long desk along a wall with the TV on the wall. 2 oz in a small circular table on the carpeted area between the desk and the side of a bed which is visible to the left. A tall lamp with a circular lamp, shade and ceiling to floor drapes are on the far wall
Looking out the window to the roof that's one floor below and covered with many likely air conditioner cooling fan units and buildings beyond
Holding up a three-prong plug in my hand, two 2-pin outlets are visible. A computer charger and the edge of a computer are in frame
Well it's a swank hotel and huge room they've put me up in! Not the greatest view but all the better to get my talk ready. I have an hour before I have to meet the organizers and some of the other invited speakers to go to dinner.
Uh oh! ALL the outlets in […]

It’s Friday afternoon, and this lot think I should go home now…. #Officemates #BeBy #Birds #ProfLife @unibergen.bsky.social
I reschedule my Friday afternoon meeting because I’m so done with this week and I need to write and exam tomorrow. Spring break can’t get here soon enough. #ProfLife
Publication post #2: I’m a big fan of Letters to the Editor. And their response was lame.

Got the idea maybe 2 weeks ago - (because i had pieces in my head for a while - maybe 6 months, and a manuscript near submission) - and this is a totally new possibility - will be terrific if we can do it (a new direction and no prelim data - but that's what the grant (ostensibly at least) […]
I guess I'm getting old...
Done with my grant this late morning and afternoon, sent final form off to collaborator/co-PI - with everything formatted (had sent him all text + fig version, just citations not put in Friday morning while I did final edits and checks and citations). Only due Monday - […]

Just started this book. As an academic that went to grad school, the premise is wild. As a Grad student, I don't think I'd go to these lengths for a Letter of Rec. But as a Prof, my ego is big enough to want to be important enough to my students to save me. #Katabasis #AcademicSky #RFKuang #Proflife
5 minutes plus- keeping up with the young ones.

It's just a pipette, Michael - how much could it cost? $500?
(finding out its more than a thousand and that's after 20% discount 😭 - and this after buying the big instrument >20K - which, you guessed it, won't work without said pipette)

It’s a new year and I begin teaching after sabbatical next week. Three syllabi about 90% completed. I helped a mentee with a teaching assignment. And I was hosted by my fave corgi while in the office. #proflife begins in three days. I think I got this.
Any other proffies out there given up on the Canvas gradebook? They have made it virtually impossible to manage optional extra credit, which I know is a super rare and exotic thing in education 🙄, but has to be at least as common as teachers who don’t want “AI assistants” in their courses #proflife
Semester under way, getting up to speed with figure drawing.
