Articles of Note
The Crew Blog:
No matter what you do for a living, at some point or another you're going to have to communicate how you feel about someone else's work.
On the surface, giving feedback may sound easy. However, when you're put on the spot-whether it's to share your thoughts on a new website design or on a colleague in a 360 review-the moments we're asked to give feedback can be tough.
From the Academy for Academic Leadership Leadership Article Recommendations, May 2016:
Slate, May 4, 2016:
The writer L.V. Anderson shares how she keeps a "done list" of everything she writes and edits each year, which helps her recall her work and overcome "my impostor syndrome." While to-do lists and other productivity habits have undeniable value, Anderson writes, a "done list" can also be enjoyable.
Harvard Business Review, May 5, 2016:
Senior leaders want to believe that delegating a task is as easy as flipping a switch. Simply provide clear instructions and you are instantly relieved of responsibility, giving you more time in your schedule.
That's the dream. In reality, we all know it almost never works that way.
LinkedIn Pulse, May 8, 2016:
If you're ambitious, you're bound to feel like a failure from time to time. Lofty goals lead to inevitable moments when you aren't yet living up to your expectations.
Fast Company, May 9, 2016:
The best leaders are busy during their downtime, but not in the ways you might think.
Think innovation is out of your reach? You're just not approaching the thinking correctly.
From the Association for Women in Science Washington Wire May Issue 1:
NYU Stern, May 9, 2016:
It is well reported that women earn 75 cents for every dollar men make in the same position. But, a new study from NYU Business Professor Lisa Leslie shows that the pay gap may actually favor women for high ranking positions.
Jaleesa Baulkman discusses the Sloan 500 Family Study. Findings indicate that segregating our work and personal lives can be detrimental in the long run for efficiency, creativity and productivity. Flexible work arrangements and mental discipline tactics are suggested solutions to cooperatively manage transitions between roles.
Harvard Business Review, May 11, 2016:
Whether you are new to stretching your comeback repertoire or an experienced hand, it's useful to have various responses readily available. The following "R-List" of categorized tactics can help you do just that.
Inside Higher Ed, May 11, 2016:
Overworked, exhausted, dejected? If so, you may be treating your job like it's your whole life instead of one piece of a much larger pie, advises Kerry Ann Rockquemore.
AAMC CFAS News, May 13, 2016:
A study in BMJ reveals that in the last couple years, there has been a gender gap in the names of researchers listed first on research papers, with women being underrepresented. Commenting on the study, Kaiser Health News reports that name placement is vital to a researcher's career. "Dr. Carolyn Lam, a cardiologist and faculty member of the Duke-NUS medical school in Singapore, said getting top billing isn't just about ego. The number of times you nab that 'first author' spot on a research paper shapes how you're evaluated at work-everything from tenure possibilities to pay. 'This is our livelihood,' Lam said. 'It's important.'"
The Scientist, Outside the Cover, May 16, 2016:
Rockefeller University researcher Elaine Fuchs on being a woman in science and her contributions to the burgeoning field of reverse genetics.
AAMC CFAS News, May 20, 2016:
A JAMA study found that two-thirds of female biomedical researchers reported "gender bias in professional advancement" and one-third reported experiencing sexual harassment. STAT News reports on the study, which was based on a 2014 survey of over 1,000 biomedical researchers who had received career development grants from NIH between 2006 and 2009.

The Last Word
AAMC CFAS May 20, 2016:
And finally, "it's not something you're likely to try early in your career," according to an article in Slate, but a handful of witty scientists have been known to take a stand with editors and coauthors to incorporate a complicated pun or joke somewhere within an otherwise serious paper. In rare cases, it may even open a moonlighting possibility. The article notes a physicist who doubles as a stand-up comic and longtime actress and UCLA-educated neuroscientist, Mayim Bialik, PhD, who plays a neuroscientist on The Big Bang Theory and prior to that, was best known as the inimitable Blossom.
