I find biology super fascinating and am willing to learn a lot from you, but I do some kind of data science with large datasets, it is a mixture of computer science and humanities.

Happy to field any biology questions you may have...👍. Data science with large datasets sounds "scary"...😳. I hope it's going well for you - and that the funding to support your research is not in peril!

My favorite part was always evolution, but I am sure you hear that a lot and have some special interest, which you can explain to me and which is something only "the in crowd" knows. :D

Large datasets of newspapers and other sources, so it's actually lovely, because it is also super interesting. :)

Funding is actually -and quite shocking honestly - great, poor me will have to visit New York and Chicago for some sources and many other places too.
Unipolitics drive me mad though, I will definitely not stay in academia, I have seen so many people who had to butcher their research to make it fit and, and, and... I am sure you know all of it and do not need me, you know it better than me, I am sure of it. It is frustating if you genuinely love your subject.

Do you enjoy your retirement?
 
I really loved teaching evolution. Sadly, it was the first time many of my students had been exposed to it. I did not do research specifically focused on evolution, but in a very real sense all biological research has an evolutionary component.

Yes - I think the current climate is very challenging for people starting academic careers. That fact both saddens and frightens me.

I miss teaching some days, but I've never once missed committee meetings or writing grant proposals... I am very much enjoying retirement.

Riiiiiight, you have those religious nutters. :O
I had just forgotten. In my European state we had the first round of sexual education in forth year, I was 9 then and we also learned about evolution - in a very, VERY basic way - in our first years if I remember correctly.

But we had religion as a standard part of the curriculum also, this is on the other hand shocking to many Americans. Protestants were send to "protestant religion", catholics to "catholic religion" and everyone else to ethics. You needed a permit by your parents to not attend or to be over 13 years old, you are considered mature enough to choose your own religion by law then, but practically when I tried to go to ethics I was still not allowed then. But religion class in school is also pretty liberal, we read Feuerbach, Freud, Marx and Richard Dawkins in religious studies and were allowed to express atheism, it is supposed to teach democratic ideals and critical thinking. Evolution was stated as a fact even in religious studies. Our biology teacher, who was great in evolution, ecology and took us often to the zoo, was also the teacher for catholic religion. :D

"I miss teaching some days, but I've never once missed committee meetings or writing grant proposals... "

FEEL THAT.

Can you not teach in retirement? In my country profs do that all the time, just for themselves, they have an office and a few selected students, which PhDs they often also advise.
 
Yup. We have far too many "religious nutters"...😖. And you are correct. Biological evolution is woefully under-emphasized in US schools prior to college. It's encouraging to learn more about the approach in Europe. Love that your religion classes included Feuerbach and Dawkins!!

I'm sure I COULD teach in retirement, but I'm very busy doing the things I love to do (spending lots of time in nature in the "great outdoors" and writing), so other than some informal teaching/mentoring my days as a "teacher" are over...🙂

A pleasure to talk with you - I'll hope to have a chance to do again soon. Off to real life now...
 
Welcome lilly... I had no idea that "dad jokes" would engender so much interest...😅
