Faculty often tell their grad students to minimize the time they spend on service work.

-"just focus on your research"
-"wait until you have tenure"
etc.

And often that's good advice! Time is a precious commodity in grad school.

BUT...

(a đŸ§”)
Time isn't the only thing grad students need!

Any minimal list has got to include:

➕Time
➕Resources ($, training, advising)
➕Motivation
So "costs" in one category might be offset by "gains" in another.

We (almost) all accept this point as obvious when we're talking about work-life balance (family, friends, mental health, hobbies).

A thread on the latest fallout from the #Dominguez scandal at Harvard:
A 1-tweet recap: Jorge DomĂ­nguez was a professor in the Government department at Harvard. At least 18 women have come forward about being sexually harassed by him, from 1979-2015. A recent internal Title IX investigation resulted in him being banned from campus for life.
But there are still so many unanswered questions.

In particular: why did Harvard continue to promote DomĂ­nguez to even more influential roles within the university, when Terry Karl had already warned them in *1983* that he had harassed her and multiple others?
