Along this vein, Please remember that we are role models to our students both undergraduate and graduate. More and more they are turned off by the lack of balance that we show regardless of our gender: social life/family OR work. We should keep in mind that in our role as educators we teach just as much as by example as when we are formally teaching our courses.

Re: [ECOLOG-L] Career - Life Balance supplements to NSF awards Please don't blame your colleagues (or yourself) for the fact that we live in a society and a time period in which corporations and academic institutions expect employees to work long hours that leave little time for work-life balance, but to be paid for a work week that is 35-40 hours on paper. That pretense is how many companies have managed to achieve record productivity and profits while unemployment remains high. I'm sure employers are delighted when they see employees fighting among themselves, instead of cooperating to push for better working conditions for all, and for government policies that help workers and families as much as they benefit employers and investors.
