I'm inspired these days by Joe Dart's general statement "play as much music with as many different people as possible" or something along those lines during the interview with him. Inspired by that line of thinking, I shall continue to get involved in many different projects and contribute to the fullest extent to each one.
I built some momentum last month with the submission of the CDMRP and IMAT proposals, as well as the paper submission to Nature Communications and, subsequently, Scientific Reports. I shall continue that momentum this month with more papers and grants.
I really enjoyed the brainstorming session with JMKM today on the relationships between turbulent flows and history. It increased my confidence in my own ability to come up with new, interesting ideas. I shall exercise the idea muscle daily.
I'm seeing the need and utility in feeling like I'm being a "jerk." Especially up front in a project or a semester, I want to enforce high standards on everyone (including me). I have to stick up for myself at the end of the day.
