I was invited by the School of Medicine and Dentistry to participate in a panel discussion on Health and Wellness for Graduate Students. The panel was organized by Jeff Koslofsky, who has a large catalogue of excellent resources for graduate students in the sciences, engineering, and medicine.Original postings here so you can subscribe/follow: https://www.linkedin.com/events/7305217005781929984/comments/https://youtu.be/0CeioQJJ7fg?si=gY0LmhYd_TcMOQoshttps://www.linkedin.com/school/urochester-schoolofmedicine/…

#89 – How to get RICH with a PhD 18:19

7 weeks ago18:19

18:19

There are no get rich quick schemes, but if you have a PhD or are getting one, you knew that already. However, there are some ways of developing financial security that are open to PhDs that may not be so available to others, even though you spent most of your 20s earning very little income. In this quick monologue, I say some things that may be common wisdom but were definitely not obvious to me when I was living every day in the lab.…

#88 – Cuts to federal grants for science & engineering research in universities: Reactions of 2 professors 39:28

39:28

I don't usually make videos/podcasts specific to a time, but given the magnitude of the crisis in academic research, I made an exception. To try to add light to the heat, I took some time to chat with my colleague, Prof. Marc Porosoff, co-host of the PodCAT also at the University of Rochester, to discuss our reactions to cuts in federal funding for research and possible consequences on the future of research and graduate education.Subscribe to PodCAT here: https://open.spotify.com/show/0tzTnMlZNcgBQfVUbvgchA?si=f0c6e663d8e04bb5…

#87 – Federal research funding: How $10 million becomes $100 million 13:06

8 weeks ago13:06

13:06

There is a lot of incorrect information out there on the role of research funding in the economy. Does it waste money or create it? Here, I use some data and back-of-the-envelope projections from my own lab at UC San Diego and University of Rochester to argue that a $10M investment in the form of grants & contracts will generate many hundreds of millions in combined earnings of trainees in the private sector and commensurately pay back the American taxpayer many times over.…

As I've gotten older, more and more people make light (in a good way) about my apparent healthy habits (if only they knew the truth!). Herein, I describe the advice I would give, and which I might even follow myself (on a good day).
