It’s Time To Get A Life

Posted on by Dr T

Introducing a lifestyle magazine blog for academics

More fun than Faculty Council.

— Dr T on the launch of Academic Chic.
It’s time that someone helped academics to get a life.

Welcome to Academic Chic, the lifestyle blog for Academics, because academics need to get a life.

Academics often have difficulty adapting to life outside the academy because outside of the academy, very few people care at all about citation formats, the Oxford comma, and Reviewer #2. It can be a scary experience.

We’re here to help.

Drop by the AC Blog to find out what’s new in sarcasm, music, bourbon, office décor, coffee, university policies, and the world-at-large. We’re here to help you get a life, or at least, have the semblance of a life so that your friends and family stop thinking you are so weird.

Welcome, Friend. There’s no judgment here. Unless you do not use the Oxford comma.

  3. I so so impressed to be included in your mailing list of ‘academics.’ I swear allegiance to the Oxford comma- do I know what it is?? Of course; I did my RESEARCH as I am an ACADEMIC.

    I am up on Georgian Bay with Doug but I think of you often. I will be back in Toronto in early August- which actually is soon. The dates get away on me. Let me know if you are around and can meet at a cafe somewhere now that IT IS LEGAL again.

    I trust that you are well and having much needed time off. Doug is just making me an Margarita to sip by the water:) Hugs, Joanne

I am an academic. I prefer footnotes to endnotes, and don't even start with the in-text citations. I will use the Oxford comma until the day I die. I drink my coffee black, and that is about the coolest thing about me. And I am a real doctor, just not a useful one.
