I've always enjoyed semester breaks for their concentrated quietness. Now this is my first week of a semester break being full Prof. In Germany, profs teach 4 seminars/semester. During the last months I felt like in a whirlwind. And now all of a sudden I have time for research again. That contrast!

In a study of professors, women got 378 new work requests over 4 weeks vs 118 for men. Women spent more time on service, advising & teaching; men on research. Orgs should track who is taking extra duties & ensure they are rewarded and distributed fairly. www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...

If you receive an invitation to review a manuscript, it will be very helpful if you hit the link to decline if you do not want to do it. Takes 5 seconds, and the editor will not wait for no reason. If you can spare another minute, please enter reviewer suggestions. BIG THANKS if you already do!

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.
