Although it might be sensible to keep certain results secret for a while, I argue that eventually it does not make sense to withhold results in the long-term.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href='http:\/\/bookavore.tumblr.com\/post\/22317702775\/a-story-about-the-book-industry-i-would-actually-like'>A story about the book industry I would actually like to read<\/a>\n<p>A trend I&#8217;ve been noticing in the past year is what seems to be an uptick in the number of established, profitable independent bookstores being sold by their owners, and especially a lot of articles where the owners talk about how they&#8217;ve loved the store dearly but it&#8217;s time to retire and think the store will need a new, energetic person to take it to the next level and contend with all the recent changes in the industry.[&#8230;] The owner usually announces the sale with a high level of optimism and often has several qualified, interested candidates to choose from. [&#8230;]I like reading all these smaller individual stories. I think they&#8217;re cool. What I want is for someone to delve a little deeper into them. I want to know how and why this happens, and if it means anything.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href='http:\/\/www.musingsonlifeandlove.com\/2010\/09\/13\/the-hardest-job-everyone-thinks-they-can-do\/'>The Hardest Job Everyone Thinks They Can Do | Musings on Life and Love<\/a>\n<p>I realize now how little respect teachers get. Teaching is the toughest job everyone who&#8217;s never done it thinks they can do. I admit, I was guilty of these delusions myself. When I decided to make the switch from &#8220;doing&#8221; science to &#8220;teaching&#8221; science, I found out that I had to go back to school to get a teaching credential. &#8220;What the f&#8211;?!?,&#8221; I screamed to any friends willing to put up with my griping. &#8220;I have a Ph.D.! Why do I need to go back to get a lousy teaching credential?!?&#8221; I was baffled. How could I, with my advanced degree in biology, not be qualified to teach biology?! Well, those school administrators were a stubborn bunch. I simply couldn&#8217;t get a job without a credential. And so, I begrudgingly enrolled in a secondary teaching credential program. And boy, were my eyes opened.
