Abstract

Tenure in any department is serious business, because it means, essentially, employment for life. —Michael Shermer The juvenile sea squirt wanders through the sea searching for a suitable rock or hunk of coral to cling to and make its home for life. For this task, it has a rudimentary nervous system. When it finds its spot and takes root, it doesn't need its brain anymore, so it eats it! It's rather like getting tenure. —Daniel C. Dennett.
