#55 – Why do professors travel so much? And, why I am trying to give most of it up (hint: baby and Covid).
Manage episode 302321277 series 2830936
In this episode, I discuss the reasons why science and engineering professors always seem to be on the road, including the good and bad aspects. For example, the joy and excitement of meeting old friends in new places and sharing scientific discoveries, as well as the sacrifices that one makes in terms of time with one's students and family. I'll also discuss why I believe most of this travel is gratuitous and hard to justify after the birth of a child and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
