If academia doesn’t work out, I guess I’ll try out being a pastor. As they say, publish or parish. #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter

I’ve been a researcher for over 20 years and a professor for over 10 years, and I still frequently answer questions with “I’m not sure, but I can look into that.” It’s okay to not have all of the answers. Nobody has all of the answers.

Every now and then I accidentally see an academic job posting. Most of them are insulting. Work for free, provide 600 documents, and jump through ridiculous hoops (and all for $40k/year). This is not normal for a workplace. Honestly, you can do so much better.

How do you know when it's time to walk away? I wrote this post, prompted by my decision to walk away from academia, how hard that was, and what made me decide. @AcademicChatter #phdlife roostervane.com/when-to-walk-a… roostervane.com/when-to-walk-a…

I think I’m sick. Making money doesn’t make me happy, but helping others make money, does make me happy 🤷‍♂️ #sendhelp

For folks who’ve exited academia, what is your perspective about the academic job market now compared to when you started your graduate program? @AcademicChatter
