Stop Trying To Get Tenure and Start Trying To Enjoy Yourself

One of my junior colleagues forwarded the above article to me, and I read with interest. I think it could also resonate the interest of many people here in iMechanica. I welcome your comments, especially from our been-there done-that tenured colleagues.

On May 29th, Prof. Zhigang Suo, a member of the US National Academy of Engineering and professor of Mechanics and Materials at Harvard University, made two lectures for teachers and students in Tongji University, titled “from study in Harvard to be elected to the US National Academy of Engineering” and “Mechanics of Soft Active Materials”.

I found very interesting web site (at least for me). That is World Universities’ ranking on the Web (WR).
