Secondary Generalist is a microblog maintained by me,
Mike Russell. I am a researcher and
graduate student at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA.
Secondary Generalist is my place for thoughts that are too large for
Twitter and too serious for Facebook. This page where I store links for myself, talk about education, and cultivate ideas that may one day become publications. Also, there are occasional posts about cycling, multisport, or Cardinals baseball.
Trent MacNamara’s series on Newt as a professor reads like a cautionary tale: never published in a peer reviewed journal, had too many disjointed ideas, talked a good game but didn’t back it up with research, told by his bosses not to bother seeking tenure, performed no committee work, was good in the classroom but otherwise weak, overly optimistic about his own abilities.
But it is interesting that he started the environmental science program.
