I was trying to figure out how to teleport in order to fit in a meeting with many busy people, that could only be at that one specific time which is inconvenient but not impossible for me so I said "yes".... and now the meeting has been moved to a time much easier for me.
I'm finding a negative correlation with the number of full professors present and the likelihood that a meeting will actually take place without being moved at least once.
This negative correlation is exacerbated wildly if a dean is to be present.
(disclaimer: I do realize everyone is doing what they can. This is about too many meetings at all levels of academia.)

For sure. And so I'm starting to admire and emulate those professors who call into question: do we really need this meeting?
A type of magic can happen in person that does not happen in an inbox. Does this topic really need magic?
@renordquist@academicchatter Yes. Too many meetings… also too many people present to get anything done…also committees that kick the ball down the road.
