Route to Academic Success - Link and Survival Kit

I love this presentation! The content and images are both great, and it's from a workshop at Rice University!


2008 NSF ADVANCE Workshop: Negotiating the Ideal Faculty Position
Course by: Rice ADVANCE
Presenter: Donna Dean, PhD, Senior Science Advisor, Lewis-Burke Associates LLC


This part below about a "survival kit" is uplifting and makes me smile :)

'Survival Kit' for Life

Toothpick: to help you separate fact from untruths

Rubber band: to remind you to be flexible

Band-aid: so you don’t let your feelings get hurt

Pencil: to jot down why you have chosen your career

Eraser: so you learn that mistakes are okay

Earplugs: to help you screen out background and distractions

Gum: because you have to stick with it

Mint: to remind you of your self worth, you are worth a mint to your organization

Chocolate kiss: because you have to like yourself first – and because it’s chocolate!
