It’s been a few years….
I burned out in academia from the overwhelming workload.
I burned out in the online business world from the overwhelming expectation to be “on” all the time.
For some reason, that always leads me to give up on writing and turn inward.
Not that the past few years have been unproductive. I’ve been working as a scientific/academic editor for ESL scientists working to publish their research in high-impact English academic journals. I have a toddler now. We’ve been locked in the house for a year.
As the light at the end of the Covid tunnel appears, I’m ready to open back up as well.
My intention is to write more regularly on my site again (mallierydzik.com) and to send out regular updates here.
Ideally I’ll be able to send out unique content here that summarizes the things I’ve been reading and thinking about recently.
In all things, I try to balance the right- and left-brained perspectives on the news and on life. I think that type of “gray,” middle-of-the-road thinking is underrepresented online right now, and I’d like to cut through the black-and-white thinking that dominates everything.
So join me here for science-guided perspectives to what’s happening in the world, and I’ll link you out to my site from time-to-time as I use the same brain (imagine!) to process what’s happening in my life.
