Ruth is taking a leave of absence from her professor job! And, also importantly, from this podcast. Here we discuss her motivations for taking the leave of absence, how leaves of absence work, and what’s working for her as well as what’s challenging for her about this process. We hope she’ll be able to come back to the podcast soon. In the meantime, Claire and Ralph will continue to produce and release episodes of The Professor Podcast with Ruth and Claire, so stay tuned!
