Female Science Professor In Print

If you are a fan of Female Science Professor's writing, as I am, you'll be glad to hear that she's reworked a bunch of her old posts into a book, lengthily titled
Academeology: Random Musings, Strong Opinions & Somewhat Bizarre Anecdotes From An Academic Life. Some of the section headings (via Confessions of a Science Librarian, since Lulu is down at the moment):

• Acquiring an academic job
  
• The Graduate School Experience: Getting In
  
• The Graduate School Experience: Professor-Student Relations
  
• Speaking of Talks
  
• Success, Failure, Ambition, Fame
  
• Cruel and Unusual: Faculty Meetings

You can also read a sample from the introduction to a chapter on being evaluated as a professor. It sounds like a great source of "behind the scenes" information for anyone pursuing a science career in academia.

Academeology: Random Musings, Strong Opinions & Somewhat Bizarre Anecdotes From An Academic Life is available in print and pdf versions at Lulu.com
