Silly question. For real academics work=life. weekends are always "work". but we dont see it that way. for us it is the life we love. https://t.co/q8E1o4ucJ4

prompted this response from the Times Higher’s Phil Baty
So questions of work-life balance are "silly" for "real academics" who don't need weekends off. Are you a #RealAcademic ? https://t.co/rVf6OykNgk
