lots of academic job interview advice going around so figured i'd share the funniest, but maybe truest, piece of advice my advisor gave me:
the more you let the interviewer talk, the better he thinks your interview went.
and the best general academic market advice he gave me: 90% of it is sheer luck and 10% is under your control. so do what you can to make that 10% as solid as possible, and then don't take anything that happens personally.

Articles like these freak out a lot of parents - it's frankly irresponsible. Other reports revealed these daycares had *no* safety protocols. Our kids have been in daycare in Arizona since June 1. I'd say that so far it has been a success. Here's how it's worked. 1/n
Curbside dropoff + curbside pickup, so parents are never face-to-face with any teachers. This works great thanks to awesome staff who greet the kids each morning. Our 2 yo and 4yo hop out of the car, wave and smile on the curb, and skedaddle inside with a teacher.
At drop-off, we roll down the windows and every person in the car has their temperature checked. If anyone has a fever, no one is allowed out of the car. (So far no one has had a fever in our family, not sure what the rate has been school-wide.)
