“The Time Available For Her To Submit Grants And Write Papers Decreased Sharply In The Year And A Half

“The time available for her to submit grants and write papers decreased sharply in the year and a half after she first became a mother. And her lower productivity continued after she had two more sons, but there often wasn’t a way to explain that on her grant applications.”

I also have a hard time explaining in my grant applications my PhD period. Even though it took 6 years to finish my PhD, I actually was much faster than average. I was on full maternity leaves not working at all for 2 years (!!) and the rest I worked part time. I managed to get my PhD in total of 3 years and 2 months of full time work equivalent.

I am glad people start noticing this and Nature writes about this issue. Let’s not punish researchers for having kids!

This is what empty space looks like..

In quantum physics, a quantum fluctuation (also known as a vacuum state fluctuation or vacuum fluctuation) is the temporary random change in the amount of energy in a point in space, as prescribed by Werner Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

- infinite potential within space.

Nothing Is As Tender As Annotating Your Favourite Books. It’s Like Leaving A Piece Of Your Heart On

nothing is as tender as annotating your favourite books. it’s like leaving a piece of your heart on the pages for somebody else to find.

A portrait in blood vessels. Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is a specialised medical imaging technique used to visualise blood vessels. Here, tangled white tubes represent the major blood vessels of the head, neck and upper thorax. Looking at the uppermost portion of the image, one can see the silhouette of the brain whilst the aortic arch takes the center bottom. All these vessels are hard at work beneath your skin, even as you read this post.
