I'm going through my first promotion cycle and...wow. We need to talk about this.
In this episode I discuss promotion and tenure with Alan Dalkin, Vice Chair for Promotion and Tenure in the UVA Department of Medicine. We talk about what the P&T process entails (and why), key lessons from his experience ushering DOM candidates through P&T, and future directions we should move towards to make P&T more inclusive and reflective of the work we do.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
