whoa. she came for a job talk here, svelte funky chick.

People age. Academics sit alot. Combine age, plus sitting most of the day working...and you get weight gain.
Life happens and I never shame people but this doesn’t have to be an academic thing. We can be much more active than other professionals. And our flexible schedules make it so much easier to exercise and cook/eat properly. Plus, all universities have low cost athletic facilities within minutes of your office!
