Birth of a Neo-Academic

My name is Richard N. Landers, and I am only four months from being a Assistant Professor of Psychology at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA.

This blog represents… well, actually I’m not really sure yet!  I imagine it will be a window into the life of someone transitioning from graduate school to full-fledged academic (a neo-academic, you might say!).  As I’m not quite sure what that involves yet, I can’t really say what this blog will be about.

But rest assured that it will be interesting!  At least to me.

I have long been a fan of academic comics like Piled Higher and Deeper and academic blogs like Rate Your Students, although I doubt I will be nearly as inflammatory, or possibly as interesting – but we’ll see.
