It’s been one of those kinds of weeks, dear readers, so the blogging has been a bit thin around these parts. I figure, though, that it’s better to give you two link roundup posts in one week than to just leave you dangling with nothing, right? Here’s a collection of some of the nifty, relevant stuff that’s come my way this week:
You know who’s faring well in the current economy? PhDs who know their way around numbers.
In fact, here’s a PhD who knows his way around numbers and eventually became a professional poker champ.
And then there’s the neuroscientist who became a horse trainer.
And now for something completely different: do you know about Yogademia? It’s a great blog written by a woman who’s a mere 9 months away from finishing her Ph.D. (go, Kiki!). Part of her mission is to create work-life balance in academia–I know, a tall order, but Kiki seems totally up to it.

Thanks for the shout-out! The credit is partly yours, you know – ‘Leaving Academia’ posts and podcasts have really spurred me on in this mission to promote work-life balance in academia.
Right now Yogademia is just a blog, but my goal is to make it the go-to source on the subject of work-life balance in higher education. We need a whole range of resources to support this revolution in academic thinking, and I’m stepping up to the plate. Thanks for the support!
