Sharing something I just learned...

Hi Reader, Did you know I am camping this week? It’s got nothing to do with faculty success and everything to do with faculty success. I take myself on a little strategic planning retreat a couple times per year. That's why I'm camping at the lake this week. It’s part of how I keep myself on track, and I wanted to share it with you today. Speaking of things you didn’t know…I was thinking about all the things I don’t know about building a research lab. So I spent some time in some Facebook groups and on Google to get some ideas about how to do that. I found some good info stuff that I thought you might find helpful too.
So, umm...soon I'll have a fully named research lab. While I was down that rabbit hole I also wanted to do a bit of research about building effective research collaboration teams in a research lab, how to assign duties to various team members, and such. This is kinda new to me. I've never worked as a research assistant. I've never worked in a lab. My grad program didn't provide this type of training and I've never seen it in action up close and personal. Do you have a research lab or a team? Do you have ideas that might help me? Hit reply and let me know! Or grab a spot on my calendar and I'll buy you a coffee for sharing with me. Keep Exploring! |

I've just finished up creating my big goals for the upcoming year. My word of the year is ELEVATE! I'm going to Elevate myself as a scholar, faculty success coach,...
Hey there, fellow faculty! Remember your first day as a new professor? That mix of excitement and utter bewilderment? Well, let me take you back to mine... Picture this: There I was, sitting at my new desk, surrounded by a stack of textbooks and my course schedule. My instructions? "Teach your classes, do service and scholarship." That's it. No task list, no guidance on time management. Just me, wondering what on earth I was supposed to do next. Sound familiar? If you're nodding along, you're...
Hey fellow faculty, I love a good book, any time of year. Every summer one of my favorite bloggers, Modern Mrs. Darcy, puts out a summer reading guide. It's filled with all sorts of bookish delights. I thought I'd do my own take on her summer reading guide but focused on good reads for faculty. Here are my top recommendations for summer reads to support the faculty life.
