I was halfway through my Ph.D. coursework and struggling to define my nebulous research topic, with deadlines hurtling toward me and the MATLAB error beep propagating through my skull like a cluster bomb, when it all became too much. Smashing the keyboard in frustration and ripping incomprehensible pages from MATLAB for Beginners, I sank to the floor in defeat. "It's OK,Mama," whispered my 4-year-old daughter who, unbeknownst to me, had been watching from the doorway after creeping out of bed. As she stretched her tiny arms across my back, I realized that, although it is theoretically possible for me to publish prolifically in the best journals while making my kids animal-shaped sushi for lunch each day, it's about as sustainable as strip mining.
