Aren't there any professors who have nothing to write about?
There are professors who had human summers.
For Mark Ptashne, professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, summer was just a time to continue things; the research that he does during the year and an annual month at an Italian music school, studying the violin.
Associate Economics Professor James I., Medoff says summer gives him time to "do the kind of-research that helps me teach better" "What you learn doing research," he says, "feeds back to students in a very positive way."
But Plot/heimer University Professor Oscar Handlin says summer can't really be classified as a time to relax for him "I don't have vacations, you know," he says, "the whole summer seems like one long list of details."
For or professor even the pressure of endless detail, seems to have been absent "My summer was not interesting enough to describe in print," says Philosophy professor Robert Nozick.
