“Scarlett was the instructor for my Human Factors class, a requirement in the Industrial Engineering curriculum. Scarlett brought great energy and enthusiasm to each lecture and had a positive impact on each of her students. She displayed terrific leadership skills and commanded the attention and respect of a classroom of 50+ students. I recommend her as both an instructor and a resource in the engineering community.”

You're juggling feedback from peer review and statistical integrity. How do you find the perfect balance?
Make sure you address each and every concern. The reviewers look to see you have addressed each item of feedback and if you don’t you’ll be stuck in the revision cycle. There are typically three options when you revise stats. 1. Realize their proposed statistical approach is better and go through a lot of work to change your analysis / get more data 2. Realize their approach isn’t better, but put in the leg work and put the results in the rebuttal anyway and explain why the approach is less superior 3. Provide a valid argument with citations as to why your approach was used, and add in the limitations section the limitations of your approach and the future work section further analyses options.

You're juggling feedback from peer review and statistical integrity. How do you find the perfect balance?
One thing I’ve always find helpful is to read the reviews and then walk away for a day or two. The first time you read the feedback it feels personal and insurmountable, particularly if it’s your first time going through the process. When you give yourself space and time to think you’re more likely to be able to see the requested changes actually will improve your paper! And take the changes one review at a time.

What do you do if your progress updates aren't impressing your boss?
Start with having a conversation around expectations. Often when I boss isn't impressed there may be a mismatch in what the expectations are for a particular project. I like to start with "what would make this project a success" and "what would make this project a failure" this provide boundaries on expectations and achievements. It may also be that your boss is extremely busy and isn't unimpressed as they are not mentally available. Try new communication channels to try and improve the communication flow. Finally, if none of these work, consider if this is truly the right match for you personally and professionally. That's often a hard thing to consider but it is important that we take the step back to really review our careers.
