To the PIs, department chairs, and deans taking the long view that the academic research enterprise will survive the pandemic, please do not forget that individual trainees are impacted, stressed, and likely to walk different roads than the ones they envisioned just last year.

While uncertainty about the future was the hardest part of being a postdoc, for me, the hardest part of being junior faculty was how unsustainable it all felt. It was so demoralizing to have trained so long for a job that was harder than every stage before. My advice? 1/n.

Dear #postdocs: I only hire postdocs if I can afford to cover your stipend for the duration of the proposed training period. Fellowships are fantastic, but too many of you are ineligible - requiring them adds bias to an already biased system.

Counterpoint: While the article is correct that the success of our academic careers too often reflects the time invested, how many fantastic scientists do we lose by requiring so much single-mindedness and sacrifice?.
A thoughtful article on the work balance issue in academia. "trainees need to take full responsibility for their careers and futures. Self-knowledge, self-awareness, and self-reliance are essential. And lab members shouldn’t shy away from asking tough questions of their mentors.".
