This Friday I will hold my Tenure Appraisal Seminar for early conclusion of my Tenure-Track Assistant Professorship and promotion to Associate Professor at the University of Copenhagen. It won't be as grand an event as the one pictured here, but it will be more momentous.
Thanks to all ~51,000 of you nerds, Tumblr will be featuring in the Public Engagement section of my talk. Thank you for all your silly and wonderful curiosity. It is a great pleasure to share the wonderful world of frogs (as well as other amphibians, and reptiles) with you all.
#about me#science#academia#tenure#studyblr#the picture is me speaking at the so-called Science Gala here in Copenhagen#by far the grandest event I have ever had the pleasure to attend#I had no idea what the venue would look like#or how many people would be there#it is a good thing I am always overdressed#but I was very late because I did not know how big a deal the whole business would be#whooops#anyway it was all good#best talk I have ever given tbh#something about standing on a stage like that turns on TED talk mode#I love public speaking#which is very weird for someone with anxiety#but here we are#When I joined Tumblr I was a Bachelor's student#and now I am about to be a tenured Associate Professor#time is a weird soup#I feel like i am speedrunning life sometimes#which is probably not a good idea because the Game Over screen is not really something you want to get to as fast as possible#something to think on#one day#when there's time
