Family-Supportive Supervisor Behavior and Flexibility Stigma among Tenure-track Faculty
Although many universities have policies that pause/extend the pre-tenure probationary period when a faculty member’s family adds new children, many faculty members do not choose to use such policies.

Robert [End Page 823] Oppenheimer and Hans Bethe nor a complete study of postwar American science and its ethical dilemmas. Instead, it is an examination of the professional, personal, and scientific lives of two men, and the ways in which they confronted the changes in science and politics before and after…
