Articles of Note
The New York Times, January 28, 2017:
The detective work we do in my lab involves genes and cancer cells, not crimes. Or so I thought, until several years ago, when one of my graduate students at the University of Michigan emailed me to say that her research had been sabotaged.
Harvard Business Review, January 5, 2017:
Jason, a general manager at a Fortune 100 company, worked hard. His businesses were thriving and his team liked working for him. Given his successes over the past year, Jason was hopeful that he'd soon be promoted to vice president. His company usually announced VP promotions in September and February. But in September, Jason wasn't promoted; another GM was.
Contrast Jason's situation with that of Bohdan. Bohdan was considered a high-potential leader, the kind of employee CEOs get excited about. He appeared to have a career on an upward trajectory with a huge future ahead of him. Bohdan is exactly the kind of candidate companies like to invest in, so he and 30 other high-potential leaders were invited to a three-day retreat with the CEO and members of the C-suite. During the retreat, Bohdan asked the CEO and CMO, "Do you have any feedback for me on how to prepare to be a vice president one day?"
Inside Higher Ed, February 2, 2017:
Why might the dean-to-president route become more common, asks Carl J. Strikwerda, and what might it reveal about the evolving paths to the presidency?
AAMC CFAS News, February 3, 2017:
The NSF published new research on women, minorities, and persons with disabilities in science and engineering. "Women have reached parity with men in educational attainment but not in [science and engineering] employment. Underrepresented minorities account for disproportionately smaller percentages in both [science and engineering] education and employment," said the study.
The Compleat Dean, by Ralph V. Clayman, MD, compiles answers to 113 questions covering all aspects related to being a vice chancellor of health or dean of a medical school in the United States. The book provides insight into the experiences of dozens of people who were serving as a medical school dean or vice chancellor in 2014 and had at least five years of experience. Dr. Clayman is a professor in the Department of Urology at UC Irvine Health.
Inside Higher Ed, February 6, 2017:
Being able to give an effective presentation is essential to your career success, writes Christine Kelly, who provides six pointers on how to do so.
Inside Higher Ed, February 8, 2017:
Then you should tell someone -- and here's how, writes Judith White.
Inside Higher Ed, February 9, 2017:
For academics wondering how to best approach the job market further along in their career, Jennifer Lundquist and Joya Misra offer some advice.
The Chronicle of Higher Education, Academe Today, February 13, 2017:
My five favorite books on gender, leadership, and academe.
The Chronicle of Higher Education, Academe Today, February 14, 2017:
They never appreciated you and now you're moving on. It's oh so tempting to set them straight.
