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.

Research presentations
My two research students from the summer are prepping for their required research presentations. I am so excited for them. One is more engaged that the other, but they are both doing well. During a discussion with the more engaged one, we looked hard at the data and came up with an alternative interpretation of the data. Though the idea was mine primarily, it was a very fruitful discussion. I am very proud of her and convinced that a REAL research project is what takes the brightest students to their max.
