Fede really needs to get a paper out, and we’re using every possible method under the sun to get that done— she has me for internal accountability, she has a conference in March for an external deadline, her technician is doing the experiments, she has it time-blocked on her calendar for her Golden Hour on Fridays, etc etc. But somehow she’s still convinced that she should write a grant at the same time. And I am not at all convinced about that— even though everything she says is extremely convincing. So in this session, we try to deal with that by determining what her strengths & weaknesses really are— as opposed to what she thinks they are.
