Don't Panic Geocast

John is off teaching a workshop and Shannon is working towards the end of the semester. We take a little time off to talk about academic service - what is it and why do we do it? Being an academic isn’t all fun and games!

• SEM time is expensive!
• BMJ’s Goofy Christmas Papers

• Three horsemen: teaching, research, and service
• Manuscript Reviewers
• How Professors Spend Their Time

• Walk like a chicken? A dinosaur? Find out how chickens doing the dino dance are giving us insight into theropod locomotion!
