Colleagues, please be advised:

I’m setting boundaries around my schedule to prioritize a peaceful, productive PhD experience.

Office Hours Schedule

Effective 8/25/25 - 12/19/25

To protect my independent work time, I am limiting my meetings to the office hours outlined below.

APL Office Hours

Fridays: 10am-5pm

Procedures:

  • Please use APL Slack to inform me of a meeting request, and anticipate a 24-hour delay in response. I will be slower to respond to APL email, as I will not have as easy access to it.

  • When sending a meeting invite, include both my APL and JHU email addresses as invitees.

JHSPH/JHM Office Hours

Tuesdays: 12p-5p
Thursdays: 12p-5p

Procedures:

  • Please use my meeting booking page to request an appointment.

  • Unless otherwise planned, all meetings will be held via Zoom.

Please reach out via Slack (APL) or email (JHSPH/JHM) to
identify an alternative meeting time if your need to meet meets the following criteria:

  1. Urgent (i.e., can’t wait until my next availability)

  2. (and) Critical (i.e., not meeting with me - and only me - will cause harm to a project)

  3. (and) Cannot possibly be accomplished in the schedule below (i.e., no schedule modifications can be requested)

Thank you for respecting my boundaries!

There wasn’t

time enough for all the wonderful things

I could think of to do

in a single day. Patience

comes to the bones

before it takes root in the heart

as another good idea.
