Dear College of Science colleagues, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pace of change just keeps accelerating at OSU, doesn\u2019t it? The amazing, incredible, inspiring side of that is that we are always getting better \u2014 doing better for our students and doing research that is cooler and\/or more impactful. The hard part is that all that change is WORK. We all need to pace ourselves, identify efficiencies and priorities, and find our own happy places in the churn. What inspires you the most? What do you want to be spending your time on at work? Do you have ideas for ways to reduce the effort that goes into the less-fun parts? (And if you have ideas that pertain to more than just yourself, I\u2019d love to hear them!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are just a few of the things going on (in case you missed anything). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
