50 Shades of Academia #1 Stay Motivated

Department of Psychology is working with Department of Neuroscience in applying a state-of-art research to help PhD students and rookie professors stay motivated.

The brain of a subject is scanned when she feels on top of the world at her research. Operations are conducted to make permanent changes at the aroused brain zone.

Very few subjects have signed up to volunteer for the experiment because no free pizza or Amazon gift card is offered.

One hiring school is making the operation a prerequisite for incoming students and faculty members after a budget meeting.

Unplanned blogging

“It is surprising how well one writes if one thinks no one will read the writing.”

My planned first blog post is on “Birthday Syndrome” – a spasm of unconscious depression when my birthday was approaching.

Before overwhelmed by the self-imposed perfectionism towards the FIRST post, I decided to start off by an obviously imperfect blogging-on-a-whim to beat the procrastination.

So glad I finally made it!

Done!!
