This all seems predominantly positive; congrats and cheers! A good workplace that allows you flexibility with your time and involves meaningful work is to be cherished. You're also incredibly productive with the scholarship. With your taking on some teaching, I gotta note that you could probably fare well if you decided to conduct an academic job search. I wish we had a position in your domain open here. XD
BTW - I've not forgotten our possible fractal mathematics based article. I just haven't heard from my contact, so will admittedly need to wait until a few projects are off and in-press before I can commit. The math stuff is going to take me a bit to learn. x_x
Thanks, Nex. I'm approaching all this as trying to make both my CV and my resume as impressive as possible, not knowing what Cory and I will be doing 2-3 years from now.
If you're still up for that fractal paper, awesome. I just can't commit to something until the summer/fall, most likely. If that timing works for you, then cool, we'll figure something out. If not, then I'll probably just file the idea away in the back of my mind. (I'm trying to get as much cleared off my table as possible before that last review comes in on my volume and I have to focus on that.)
This timing works out best for me; I need to get at least one paper out from my newly started (as of a couple of years ago) research focus, plus some other items on back-burners. I'm thinking this summer affords good opportunity to try something new, like learning fractal analyses. :D
If you want academia on the table as a potential career, my top advise is to get some solid teaching experience in; try the adjunct thing each semester if you can squeeze it in!
