Hi!

I have a 7 mo. old and one on the way, and am about to START a PhD program. I, too, want an academic career. Here are a couple of articles you might find to be interesting.

Thanks for the links. My grad school friends and I had seen these articles and felt totally depressed. My dh just finished his PhD and has a tenure track job for which we moved out of state so I've been feeling even bleaker about my personal prospects, but I'm still plugging away, hoping to finish myself.

When do you start?
