If you’re a long-term listener, you know this show often takes long, multi-week breaks. This break has been much longer than normal, and will likely continue for a few months. What’s going on?
Right now, I have one goal on my mind: to find a new, permanent job.
My three-year contract at Grand Valley State University will end in April. I knew this going in, and it’s public information, so don’t worry about any dirt being spilled. In the past three months I have applied for dozens of jobs, and that number will double before year’s end.
Each application takes time. I also have a full teaching schedule and I’m supervising undergraduate research. In short, there’s simply no time to make the show right now.
I don’t know where I’ll be in six months, and that’s honestly a very stressful situation. But things are looking up- I’ve had a few interviews, and jobs are still being posted.
When I find a permanent position, hopefully by early 2025, I will let you all know and finally return to Bedrock, both the show and in my own life. In the meantime, thank you as always for your patience and enthusiasm. If you’ve finished the show, you can recommend it to a science-curious friend. You can always drop a line at bedrock.mailbox@gmail.com, it always makes my day.
