Happy New Year friends of the Faculty Factory Podcast! With 2021 upon us, host Dr. Kimberly A. Skarupski introduces a new series here on the Faculty Factory: “Habits and Hacks from Hopkins” also known as “H3.”

We are always curious how someone is so successful in our field. What are the factors associated with this person’s success in attaining grants, writing papers and making great strides in their clinical practice? We’d love to uncover some of these successful habits among our faculty and this podcast could be a great platform for sharing these habits and hacks.

As you may know, this podcast started with Dr. Skarupski talking with deans and leaders in this field about their different faculty development and faculty affairs offices to explore best practices while looking to build community. Next, we introduced Faculty Factory Podcast Snippets—short, easily digestible segments of knowledge meant to provide some useful nuggets of information that faculty could listen to while on the go.

Now we are entering a stage of this podcast where Dr. Skarupski will talk with faculty on their habits and hacks. She will interview them about what practices, efficient routines and ideas we could all benefit from hearing about! On today’s episode, we kicked-off this new series with Dr. Skarupski introducing her own habits. She put them into three categories: the habits of thinking, doing and being.
