This special end of 2024 edition of the Newsletter is hitting your inbox halfway between Thanksgiving and Christmas and I hope provides some insightful readings and resources as we look toward 2025.
The newsletter is typically distributed the last Thursday of the month and contains a variety of resources, links, and reflections on graduate-level career & professional development, higher education, and an occasional detour into neuroscience topics, the area I formally trained in as a graduate student and postdoc. Regular newsletter delivery will resume on Thursday, January 30th.
