Academia is cool because if you're doing it right, every paper you published in the last 3 years feels inadequate now that you understand the topic better, but it'll take 3 years to get out the version where you get it more right, and you get to do that until one day you die! Isn't that cool

My sabbatical leave allowed me to reflect on my professional life. As I’ve stepped into more senior roles in academia (plus gotten a bit older), I often get asked: 
“How do you keep writing academic articles, policy work, opinion pieces, while juggling everything else?” My answer: skillpower 🧵
