Unpopular opinion: I’ve signed a few of these open letters, but frankly, that is not enough.
Faculty need to organize AND unionize. I began my #ProfessorLife in a union shop (Wayne State) & I’m now in AAUP-AFT’s at large chapter.
Best time to unionize was yesterday. Second best is today.

You know what I need? I need 1-2 years off from work just to read, get into archives, record interviews, and accelerate this research... but that's #ProfessorLife for you! Don't we all?

🎯! This is exactly how I feel about my work. "Well, Eb, everything you wrote in the 2010s is dated. Now what?"
Such is the substance of #ProfessorLife. It is the way of all scholarly flesh!

Academia is cool because if you're doing it right, every paper you published in the last 3 years feels inadequate now that you understand the topic better, but it'll take 3 years to get out the version where you get it more right, and you get to do that until one day you die! Isn't that cool

It’s fun to have more time to perform experiments in my lab during my sabbatical. I come into the lab a couple times a week, and then I just relax when I am home. No lectures to prep, no classes to teach, and no late night grading. A very nice break! 🧪 #professorlife

Very long day in #ProfessorLife and #ChairLife. Trying to shake off two matters arising:
1. Being chair is uncompensated "damned if you do; damned if you don't" (see the Netflix series!).
2. To quote my research partner, "It's one thing not to be consulted, it's quite another not to be informed!"

I am currently attempting to edit in iMovie. (Can’t use my #ProfessorLife or #ChairLife resources for this new hobby, nor U-M software.)
I’ve learned this week that video editing software is either:
a) quick learning curve, but expensive
b) free but expert level
Also, digital cameras = 💸💸💸!
