New Academic Blog

[ivorytowerunlocked]

Hi all,

 

I'm an assistant professor, finishing up my first year.  I've started up a blog, http://www.ivorytowerunlocked.com/, where I'm hoping to post about applying to grad school, surviving grad school and getting into your first academic position.  

 

I realize this overlaps (pretty well exactly   ) with thegradcafe.com, however perhaps there's value in longer articles, as opposed to forum discussions.

 

I'm pretty open to topics right now, if there's anything people are interested in reading about, I've got an itch to write!  

 

(for what it's worth, my background is a STEM discipline PhD, graduated from an R1 university, did a postdoc at MIT and am now working at a teaching university)
