Is she in a Med School setting? The heirarchical culture of medicine trumps the idealism of academia every time.
Ah, that'd be it. I'm not sure she only teaches in med school, but she definitely teaches in med school.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

No doubt about that, WindSparrow. I graduated form HS in 1972 and got my BS in 1987. Yep, that would be 15 years. I worked full time the whole way. (and paid for the whole thing myself, unlike my full ride DH, although he paid in other ways) It still is one of the few things that I had only myself to credit or blame for getting through.
I had a GF that worked as a nurse while she was in school. Back in the days where they had rotating shifts. She worked a different shift at the hospital every 2 weeks. And she worked at a local dinner theater. She used to have a calendar where she would plot out her sleeping time. (before computers) She was so organized she boggled my mind. 3 hours here, 4 hours there. She stressed that sleep was essential to making her insane schedule work. Seriously, I don't have that level of scheduling skill.

Because Med School positions are more like real jobs in they also pay more like real jobs. Quite a bit more. Also, they have free lunches and less teaching and much nicer toys. It's a trade-off.

I don't know if Jamaican med schools translate, Rick. She's teaching undergraduates, for a start. I think she has a blend of students, but can't be sure. But she's always been in medical research (biochem), so she leans the med school way, and not "just plain" biology or chemistry.

I must confess my total dorkatude. I finished my interview early tonight so tried to call juliana to say I was going to head home and ended up talking with JZ. Oooops. I do know how to work my phone and read...and it was a pleasure speaking with a confused JZ. I'm a dork.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
JZ said it was a total tease. "I wish I could go out drinking with you instead of dealing with a teething baby."
