Now all I need is for Jorge Cham to get PhDComics out of retirement and for Jef Mallet to bring Frazz here and I'll never get any work done at all...

Professors wear every hat. Who gets burned?
Most professors signed up for autonomy.
To think. To teach. To write.
To finally do meaningful work on your own terms.
But here’s what we actually do:
• 59% of our time goes to teaching
• 23% to service
• 18% to research

Most people in academia feel like an imposter at some point. But feeling like an imposter does not mean you are an imposter. Look at the facts. @phdcomics

I know it's Sunday but I spent a bit of time on the tools today and it was very relaxing. (Now if someone can find that PhDComics strip where the prof goes into the lab and breaks everything)

There are two wolves inside of every prof -- the PhDComics PI in the lab, and Master Yoda. You can never be sure which one you will get on any given day....

Ho, it's nothing new.
It just so 🤬 sometimes.
