Comments on: Is Your Trailing Spouse a Significant Other? http://www.sciencebase.com/science-blog/is-your-trailing-spouse-a-significant-other.html Science Blog from Freelance Science Writer David Bradley Sat, 21 Nov 2009 14:14:50 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Andrew Sun http://www.sciencebase.com/science-blog/is-your-trailing-spouse-a-significant-other.html/comment-page-1#comment-217958 Andrew Sun Sun, 25 Nov 2007 08:44:47 +0000 http://www.sciencebase.com/science-blog/is-your-trailing-spouse-a-significant-other.html#comment-217958 We have a husband and wife team in my college of Mater. Sci. Eng. and they are both doing polymer science. The husband is the youngest PhD director in the college (or even of the university perhaps) and the wife, with a series of Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. papers published, has become a new rising star here. Although they are of different research groups (under different bosses) and doing different things, when the husband publishes a paper he includes his wife's name on the author list and the wife does the same thing to her husband. I think this is what you meant when you mentioned that 'a job share can only work well if the partners are at the same academic level'... And, the image...it fits with the topic in a strange way.
