From Research to Writing: A Brisk Change of Pace

As someone who took no breaks between my undergraduate-graduate-postdoc days (12 years total), I can certainly say that I became used to the sheltered life of an academic setting. Therefore, once I decided that I would trade in my pipets for a keyboard, I realized that I would be in for many lifestyle changes. I'll admit it did give me momentary pause; after all, even if you may not love your current profession, the sense of comfort can make it a bit harder to leave.
