You Are Not Working for Me; I Am Working with You.

Since 2009, I have led a cancer research group at the University of Cambridge; the current group includes ten scientists (five postdocs, five PhD students). In the following, I will share with you some of the lessons I learned over the years and some of the leadership strategies that work well for me. Key topics will be the integration of new lab members and the communication in the lab (in particular, how to make expectations explicit).I would like to acknowledge the support of The University of Cambridge, Cancer Research UK (core grant C14303/A17197), and Hutchison Whampoa Limited. The funders had no role in study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript.This is the final version of the article.

Letter from Charlotte Gaut to John Muir, 1910 May 23.

[1]San Francisco, Cal.May 23, 1910.Dear Mr. Muir;-I was very much pleased to hear from you. I felt it quite an honor to receive a letter from such a busy man.I like San Francisco very much. The second day I was here I secured a position in a Neckwear Factory as bookkeeper and stenographer for the small sum of a dollar a day. I am now working in an architect\u27s office. They keep me pretty busy. Some of04765 [2]the specifications are forty-eight pages long and I have to make six carbon copies and sometimes more than that.I find that working is not fun by any means, but it is sure to become easier with practice.How glad I will be to see you when you come to San Francisco. I will give you my working address so that if it is more convenient to call on me down town you may. It is room[3]119 in the Chronicle Building. You have my other address.Thanking you very much for your kind letter, I remain,Ever your friendCharlotte Gant.0476

Letter from Harry Fielding Reid to John Muir, 1901 Jan 21.

[letterhead]Jan. 21, 1901Mr dear Mr. Muir,I am after you again for information about the Alaskan glaciers. Have you been fortunate enough to visit that country again last summer? Remarkable reports have reached the east with regard too the immense effect on the glaciers of the earthquake of Sept, 1899. Can you give me any authentic information on the subject? And last Oct. the papers said that a big piece of the end of the Windom glacier had broken off. This seemed strange to me, as this glacier does not reach tide-water. I was in Switzerland again last summer for a few weeks working especially on the blue veins and stratification of the glaciers; I think I have enough data now to prove that the former are merely modified strata. I wish I could see you; it has been a long time since you were east. You ought not to forget this part of the country. Mrs. Reid joins me[in margin: in kind regards, Yours cordially, Harry Fielding Reid.]0283

One Man\u27s Meat

Born in Dun Laoghaire, outside Dublin, I have lived all my life here in Ireland. Since 1993, I have run Firstcom, a communications company based in Dublin, Ireland. When I am not working, I like to cook for my family and friends. I am also a keen photographer. My eldest daughter Lucy (who is a blogger herself talked me into starting this blog as a way of getting more out of my combined writing, photography and food interests. Lucy went on to stick a pen in my back by entering the food blogging space with her Decidedly Deliciousblog. So far, she has restricted her activities to the sweeter end of things. However, I am a bit concerned she may start blunting my knives and pilfering my pots. Ladles at dawn, I think… I hope you like what you see here. If you do, comment, tell your friends and come back. If you don’t, come back when you are in a better mood. Tell your friends anyway

Letter Written by Edith Speert to Victor A. Speert Dated November 14, 1944

[Transcription begins] Tuesday night 11/14/44 My beloved, This afternoon it started to rain, and honestly, I couldn’t see a nice thing about the darn drizzle. But this evening when I got home, and went to the 3rd floor to sew about 20 buttons on my yellow dress (one I got in San Antonio) which just came back from the cleaners, the pitter-patter of the rain drops on the roof was very pleasant. As a matter of fact, I used to love to hear the pitter-patter of the rain drops on our roof in Lawton, cause I would wake up and feel so safe and secure under the roof and besides [sic] you. But, you know, dear, the pitter-patter on a roof that isn’t leaking is always a rather secure feeling to me. I don’t understand why you haven’t met up with the outfit, as yet, but I guess I’m not suppose [sic] to understand. Is the outfit in France? Gosh honey, I sure hope you got mail by now. And you should get jut gobs and gobs of mail. I hope you also get the mail I sent you to APO 17064. However, I do feel terrible that you haven’t been getting mail. Makes me feel like a stinker when I miss getting mail (maybe for 2 or 3 days) and I go around with a sour puss. Gosh, I’ll never complain again! So I hope!!!!! Glad to hear you are meeting up with old friends. Was Max Friedman a TEP at OSU? I think I know Sylvia Jacobs, but I’m not sure, as I believe there are two girls by that name. If he is engaged to a rather tall girl (5’ 4-5”), very dark, than [sic] I know her—I went to school with her. By the way, Max Friedman’s mother was in the store to tell my Dad about this meeting in France. Please, please don’t cultivate a mustach [sic]—I can even hate it on you though separated by thousands of miles. You [would] look positively horrible in one of those things under your nose, and although I still say you can do as you please, for your own personal vanity, please shave it off! Although I left work at 4:30 today, for a change, I didn’t get home until 5:30, and still I won’t get to bed before midnight. It seems that I always have so darn much to do. It took me over an hour to sew the darn buttons on my dress. Also, Amy Embry called me and I spoke to her for quite a while. It seems they are de-centralizing WAC recruiting—in other words, instead of having one centralized office in Cleveland, they are having small independent offices in such places as Lakewood, Euclid, Bedford, Lorain, Willobee [sic], etc. Amy is now in charge of the one in Lakewood. She has really been kept busy, but we expect to get together rather shortly. Spoke to Sanford this afternoon for just a minute, and this evening, I called your folks to make sure that they remember that I will be over tomorrow night. Everything seems to be okey-dokey! Enclosed is a rather interesting article. Jap-Am. will be a minority group in the USA after this war as they are now, and I believe, we will have to practice tolerance, even though we may have practiced hate during the war against their ancestors. It seems to me that when “outer things” are visible such as skin, eyes, color, etc., those peoples are more persecuted in Am. than the Jews, Germans or Italians. I think you know what I’m trying to bring out! And what is particularly revolting about the article is the fact that the Jap-Am. was in an Am. service uniform. Your comments on the foreign countries are very interesting. Keep them coming! Today I got a short letter from the Reubens[es]. They want me to come up for Thanksgiving, but frankly, I don’t see how I can make it. So, I think they will have to wait for April when I get my vacation. I keep sending you under separate cover articles and letters that you might enjoy reading. Write when you have received them. Oh yes, write me when and if you receive the camera I sent you. We have a new teacher—a colored girl, who is working and going to Reserve for [a] Masters [degree] in education. So far there has been no noticeable prejudice on the part of the teachers, children or parents. However, I do think certain things may show up in teachers’ meeting—such as how her ideas are accepted—whether she is “bullied” into working certain hrs., or gets her choice, etc. And tomorrow, we are having a teachers’ meeting!! Guess I’m all “writ” out for tonight, as I, also, sent a letter to the War Bond Dept. to find out what happened to our Bond for Nov., and I wrote to Bulova Watch to see if they have traced your watch. As soon as I go to the bank and check once more on our acct.—if the money isn’t in (the extra $25 for Oct.) I will write to this office which sent you a receipt which you have on this allotment business. As I was going home tonight I wonder why I even bother to go home—I really have nothing to come home to in the evenings, except your letters. However, I don’t usually get that morbid—I think the rain made me feel that way. I miss you, long for you, adore you, love you, always think of you, my darling. Take good care of yourself, sweetheart! Yours, Edith [Transcription ends

ARNOLD ARBORETUM, HARVARD UNIVERSITY,Jamaica Plain,Mass., JUly 12, 1909.My dear Muir:I am writing to tell you that our traveling companion [illegible] Is engaged to be married to a Miss de Acosta of New York, a very attractive young lady of Spanish origin.
