As academia presses more demands on our time, remember the importance of making space for "timeless time" where you have the headspace to think critically and creatively (this and other tips in the only about 90-page book The Slow Professor). Also see 👇 nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

Instead of listing my publications, as the year draws to an end, I want to put pressure on the commonplace assumption that productivity must always increase. Good research is disruptive and thinking time is central to high quality scholarship and necessary for disruptive research
