In a post offering advice for junior faculty, Greg Mankiw says the following:
- “Avoid activities that will distract you from research. Whatever you do, do not start a blog. That will only establish your lack of seriousness as a scholar.
- “Remember that you got into academics in part for the intellectual freedom it allows. So pursue your passions. Do not be too strategic. Be wary of advice from old fogies like me.”
Hmm. I choose to go with intellectual freedom and pursuing my passions.
