Diana was an amazing scientist and mentor - even to those outside her field. I was privileged to work with her as a SOGES fellow starting in 2013 and got to see that firsthand. @ColoradoStateU and the science community lost a giant; she will be greatly missed. – at Fort Collins, CO

Yep, this tracks @insidehighered insidehighered.com/news/facu… – at Fort Collins, CO

Tenure clock delays, a debatable fix, popular amid pandemic

Colleges gave tenure candidates more time due to COVID-19. Women, who may be more likely to fall behind due to extensions, reported more disruption to their research than men.

I’m not on here much anymore and I don’t think a lot of my network is either, but little announcement – I’ve left academia. More info below. I’ll miss a lot of things, first & foremost my students, but new challenges and adventures await! shorturl.at/jAGR1 #leavingacademia
