    Guest: Dan Aukes - Leaving a tenured faculty position? But why??

    Formerly "Professor" Dan Aukes of Arizona State University talks about his journey into academia, succeeding in academia, and ultimately choosing to leave it to explore new professional life chapters. Considering non-academic careers after finding success in academia is common, but following through with the decision to pursue other career paths is less common. It's refreshing to hear such an honest and open account about the drivers to making this type of career decision. Enjoy!

    Decoding Faculty Excuses

    Bryan and Steve discuss their experiences in receiving (and sometimes making) excuses related to working with others. When is a "yes" a "yes"? When is it really a "no"?

    Peer Review Problems

    Bryan and Steve discuss their concerns with the peer review process that research papers currently follow and offer some food-for-thought suggestions for changing the process (none of which are likely to actually happen). Despite their grouchy tone, they recognize the value that this process provides for research, so take their thoughts with a grain of salt. Hope you enjoy!
