I mentioned that I've been invited to talk at Hub's U. The day is approaching, and I am putting together the powerpoint. First I was a little freaked becasue I couldn't find the figures my summer students left on my computer, and now I am trying to select a few articles to read in the near future to review the literature and be ready for questions. When I started to go through my pile of papers to do triage, I was overwhelmed at the low ratio of
literature I know
to
literature I should know / I knew but have forgotten
YIKES!!!! I'm going to sink. The sharks are going to eat me.
Ok, I'm trying to shake it off now.
I am a professor at a primarily undergraduate institution. My spouse is a research professor and works two hours' drive away. This blog is primarily about life at a PUI, but also about our family trying to make the most of an uncomfortable lifestyle.

You'll be fine and they won't feast on you. As I mentioned before, it might be a good idea to put in a slide about how the data were collected, i.e., multiple students over summers. It would provide some useful perspective to your audience.
