Regarding renewal, I can't shake the feeling that I could have done more over the past three years. I could have submitted more proposals. I could have more vigorously kept Shrishti focused on her thesis work. To this day, I'm still not completely sure how she ended up spearheading the J-aggs project when she is not Remi's student. There are intervening factors: COVID. Shrishti's mental health. The fact that my lab was not operational when Shrishti joined in August 2018. I did what I did, and we are still here. That's going to have to be that.
I am excited to have four unfettered hours to write tomorrow morning. I am a professor at an R1 university. I often ask myself, "What would a tenured professor do?" A tenured professor would know how to capitalize on a morning free of obligations and make the most of it. I will use that time to get through the backlog of writing projects I have.
