Academic anonymous blog—help me choose the name and the pseudonym!

  • Academic anonymous blog—help me choose the name and the pseudonym! For a quite a while I have been thinking of starting an anonymous blog about my life as an early career academic scientist in physical science/engineering field. Think of an assistant professor or a lecturer who has just started his job and is barely able to keep his nose above the water while juggling between research, teaching, service, advising, trying to raise money by writing proposals, and family. That person would be me. So I am here asking the hivemind for some interesting clues on the name of the blog and my pseudonym. I realize it sounds lame to ask this question, but nevertheless!

  • Answer:

    Career suicide! Because so many fun non-research things are "career suicide" for new profs, including blogs! Have fun.

That's funny! I actually just logged on to Ask MetaFilter to get help choosing a pseudonym. What a weird coincidence that this is currently the top question. OK, let's see... Blog: Entropy Finally Wins Mad Science and Neurotic Engineering Pseudonym: Gerarde Haldane Fleance McGloubnoy Hice Menoukka Terrance Galadreene

The Absent-Minded Professor?

Entropy finally wins is a fantastic name!

bessel functions seem unnecessarily complicated

Entropy Finally Wins Slight diversion from this idea: I rather like the idea of quoting Radiohead and going with Gravity Always Wins (which is also apropos to physical science and engineering).
