Depression, Research, and Deadlines

About Depression, Research, and Deadlines

This podcast will be a look into the creation of my 2023 Distinguished Faculty Lecture for Salt Lake Community College, and will culminate in the delivery of that lecture in April 2023. Since my lecture topic is mental health and college faculty and staff, and to a lesser extent, my own experiences with clinical depression and anxiety, I want to document how this project comes together, and all of the messiness that goes into something like this, rather than just focusing on the (hopefully) polished outcome. It's one thing to talk about mental health, and another to share the journey of a project like this. Topics for this show will include my feelings about the project as it develops, thoughts about research I encounter, challenges that crop up, and very likely, the occasional swear word. I am going to try to make these episodes as unedited as possible, except where issues of clarity or coherence are at play.

   One week out (or, how I sprained my face)

   I’m a little less than a week out, and I have a new mic, no script, and a sprained face. And it’s all surprisingly ok.

   The Powerpoint exists! (thanks, IT)

   When IT wants your Powerpoint three weeks before your talk, a lot of work gets done very quickly

   A really good research day

   I read the things, I thought about the things, and I made notes! What more could I ask for?

   A really bad day down, and 40 to go

   In which I revisit ChatGPT, try to do some reading, and have concerns about the scope of the project

   ChatGPT continues to be a source of distraction and interest, and I make a beginning on outlining the talk, which may have led to a whole new set of challenges.

    And so it begins (as it should have in August...)

    Welcome to my voice in the void! This episode will discuss how I got into this situation, where I am right now, and a little background on myself, not necessarily in that order.
