    Thank you! Outside the USA academic circles, the word tenure doesn’t hold as much power. I didn’t know the difference between tenure and non- tenure faculty when I moved to the USA. The simplest explanation is- the university/ institute makes a bet on a person and give them a job and enough money to set up the lab and expects that in 5/7/10 years (whenever they evaluate) this person will pay off the money and bring more, will prove to be a leader in their field. If the evaluations are positive, this person gets tenure and promotion to the next level (usually Associate Professor) and a good salary raise. If not, they have a year to wrap up their lab and find another job.

    Thank you, @SGBV! This coming from a strong, professional woman really means a lot to me!

    You are right, 2020 was like suddenly pushing on breaks on a vehicle and bringing it back to a steady speed with work-life balance.

    :hello:Congratulations you are triumphant.
    Well said. Emerging victorious after hard work over years toward a goal makes one more humble & more Noble.

    I think of that Amar perm song that @chocogal26 cited to you long long ago:

    KUCH TO LOG KAHENGE.....LOGO KA KAAM HAI KEHNA....CHODO BEKAR KI BATOON MEIN BEET NA JAAYE REINA"


    Thanks and Regards.
