An important episode that puts pandemic learning losses in context. (Short summary: learning losses are real, but part of a trend that started well before the pandemic. So there's no reason to believe "coming out of the pandemic" alone will return student performance to earlier levels, and our curricular responses may need to be deeper and longer lasting than we might prefer.)

Podcast discussion of a new book which addresses some of the differences between work at research institutions and teaching-focused institutions. The synopsis highlights new faculty, but about halfway into the podcast they also start discussing mid-career (and even late-career) choices too.

As we welcome new colleagues and new students (and continuing mentoring folks who have been here longer), it's worth asking what the institutional and interpersonal factors are which contribute to "imposter syndrome," and what we can do instead. The word "teacher" (or "chair" or "director") could be substituted for "manager" all over this episode.
