Thank you for writing this post Brian. I appreciate your choices and would be interested to hear in the future (say in a year, and even after) how things worked out, how excited will you be about your work, and if you will be able to sustain this financially.
I also appreciate the fact that you took the time to explicitly write those caveats.
Hey Shay, thanks for the message! I agree in the value of writing an update towards the end of this year about how things worked out, how excited or not I still am about this work and about EA, and if our CB grant was renewed.
Regarding if I will be able to sustain this financially, even if I’m paid only 0.61 FTE currently, the funding is enough for my needs currently. I would like this funding to be increased to 0.8 or 1 FTE so I can be more comfortable for this long-term, but if not, I think I’ll be willing to do this work full-time even at 0.61 FTE for 2-3 more years. I’m not too worried about my financial situation.
