My wife worked more than me. I was that PhD/postdoc with kids more.

Dr. Samantha Zeitlin

@SamanthaZeitlin

ha! boss harassed me about my wardrobe until I said I'd have my wife see to it. 15 years later, still female, straight and single.

I keep expecting academia in general to be more culturally progressive, and I keep being disappointed.

I was that science spouse while Dr K was working on her two doctorates & suffering through medical residency.

Not saying it has tp be that way nor SHOULD have to be that way. But, really, I get it.
