The Juggler!
I am struck by how many streams are in my research “pipeline”: Awaiting Copy-Edited Version of WhitePaper, Creating Presentation for April Colloquium, Conducting Phase II Data Analysis, Awaiting Evaluation of Final Assignment, Regularly Reviewing Recent Publications. I could continue, but … Continue reading
Limited Energy, But Progress Nonetheless
It was another exceedingly busy week at work!! This pace will continue until mid-April when I hope to on-board a new manager. This will reduce my number of direct reports significantly and allow me to focus on building a integrated strategy … Continue reading

Wearing Two Hats
I am still grappling with how much I need to learn and do!! Also, at times I am feeling frustrated that I have very interesting data to analyze but cannot proceed. The reality is that I have completed overestimated my quantitative skill-set … Continue reading
It Is REALLY Starting To Make Sense
I am in the midst of the final leg of my research week. I have worked hard and consistently but have not accomplished as much as I had hoped. I am starting to really recognize that I am a poor … Continue reading
