Blog idea: all the terrible advice men and women get for family planning in academia

I would read it. I had two babies during my molecular biology Ph.D.

I was told to have a baby while getting my masters (at 22) so they'd be older and lower maintenance by the time I was on the tenure clock.

Appalling. Your fertility choices - and children - should be "out of the way" so you can keep up those family-unfriendly career demands.

Exactly. Definitely had an impact on how I thought about whether I was cut out for an academic career.

@duffy_ma Something off here. Never met anyone who went from hired at Assist. to Full Prof in 5.9 years. Maybe Assoc? -
I think that's the length of time in rank as associate prof.
-
original source makes that more apparent. 5-7 yrs still seems shorter than normal to me.
