Comment on Creativity in Science Careers: why I love AAAS by whiskgourmet.com

Whilst you could get a partner or close friend to
give your shoulders, back or feet a good rub down, to truly feel long-term
benefits you should enlist the services
of a trained professional to give you regular massages.
At a bargain 100 bolivianos for 4 hours, they have
enough power to get 2 gringo-sized riders up the local hills.

The only issue I have is that they really should have
found a way to double face the can, so it will work better in store shelves.

I almost never comment, but i did a few searching
and wound up here Topic of the Week: Ask for what you want, you�re worth
it | Motherhood, The Elephant in the Laboratory. And I do have some questions for you if it’s allright. Could it be just me or does it look like a few of the responses look as if they are coming from brain dead folks? And, if you are writing at other online social sites, I’d like to follow everything fresh you have
to post. Could you make a list of all of your community pages
like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

I do not know whether it’s just me or if perhaps everybody else encountering problems with your site. It appears as though some of the written text in your posts are running off the screen. Can somebody else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them as well? This could be a problem with my web browser because I’ve had this happen previously.
Kudos

Hi, sorry just saw this now! I was just discussing this with a professor at UMass, who went through all of this years ago. I think it would take some willingness of research university admin to think about how they could offer and benefit from part-time faculty. What that would look like, and whether it would be permanent, for a few years etc. Or if there is a way to set up job-sharing between two faculty who are colleagues, not necessarily partners. But, that all said I am an outsider to academia and so it’s easy for me to dream up ideas. The reality of them is something else. Sorry I can’t offer more. Good luck!

Hello, I have a tenured position at a research 1 university. Between managing work and 2 kids (5 and 2 yr) I feel drained and never seem to have time to relax. Yeah they say a job like mine has flexibility but with so much to do grants, publications, teaching, advising….how do you manage it all. Its not all bad though with people appreciating the good work but are there ways to go part time? I would love to watch my kids grow and enjoy my time with them.

Don’t think you will never work again! I know how you probably feel, since I spent almost 10 years as a SAHM. Surprisingly,I have successfully moved back into the research world after such a long hiatus. I was able to rejoin a lab doing basic research, but this was not an advertised opportunity. I just decided to research the various professors at the university, and sent an e-mail to one doing interesting research. Although he was not hiring, he passed my CV off to another professor that was, and I was offered a post-doctoral position. Although this opportunity is not part-time, I am happy to move back into my career. I would suggest trying to network… you never know what is available! There could be someone wanting someone to work part-time, but won’t advertise an official opening. You just might be the perfect fit!

Thank you, Emily! I have been looking into community colleges for chem instructor openings but so far nothing available yet. Are there any consulting agency sites that you know of? Any websites I can search for review work? That would be an ideal job for a SAHM. I am in CA. I also have experience in formulations, drug and cosmetic. I will check out the AAAS site. Thanks!

Hi SAHM, do you have any local colleges or community colleges who might be looking for instructors or lab-instructors? Sometimes they offer night classes so that might work (I did that for a year, taught at night – was like a night out when the kids were little!) How about consulting agencies? You may want to look around, some actually like part-timers (don’t have to pay benefits) and often those kinds of jobs can be done from afar (like review work etc.) You may want to check out the AAAS site for young scientists and for jobs. They have a very good and broad site. http://sciencecareers.sciencemag.org/.

Hope some of this helps. I do know how you feel – I’ve been there (just about every two or three years it seems), but I think if you chip away at it, you’ll find something!
