Thanks, Liz! I've been so interested by your journey. Healthcare providers in academia have a built-in back-up plan of private clinical practice, but scientists have less of a clear path, and you have to be more creative. You may soon be less of an outsider than an early adopter or pioneer as more and more researchers in the US find themselves out of work due to disastrous funding cuts and policy changes. Keep us updated, we're all rooting for you!
What a great entry! I've seldom enjoyed a Substack entry more. I used to play theme music for my intro geology class topics and "Landslide" was my choice at the start of slope stability; Grateful Dead's "Fire on the Mountain" preceded volcanoes. :)
Best of luck in your journey, Eric! And thank you for a thoughtful and reassuring post.

I’m not very familiar with the Dead, will have to check that song out—thanks for the rec!
