'How to be the person who never misses a deadline'

Kelsey Manning, an Advertising and Promotions coordinator at Harper Collins, has written an interesting article describing methods she uses to remedy patterns of 'lateness,' which can mean anything from being late to meet with colleagues to handing in important materials past deadlines. She outlines several key factors in reducing procrastination and missed deadlines, including being honest with yourself about why you're late ("Are you easily distracted from the task at hand?" "Are your deadlines unrealistic?") as well as not underestimating how long tasks will take. The article is a quick read that offers a few great tips to organize work time better in order to hit all deadlines.


Advancement Opportunities:

Postdoctoral position available in the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior at the University of California, Irvine

Excellent opportunity for a postdoctoral researcher with a PhD in Neuroscience, or related area, to conduct research on the neurobiological mechanisms underlying nicotine reinforcement and aversion utilizing mouse and rat behavioral models in conjunction with manipulation of neuronal circuit function (e.g. optogenetic/DREADD approaches). The successful candidate will have strong problem-solving, writing and communication skills, as well as background and experience in rodent behavioral models, calcium imaging, in vitro neuronal culture, and/or generation of designer viral constructs.
