Her husband said she/they were afraid that like a previous professor who didn’t get tenure, she might end up with a job........as a bus driver.
Well, that’s ruled out now. So they can relax.
She and her husband had some business on the side in which they had invented a new way to serve up bacteria samples that was better than using a petri dish. They had recently received over a million up front for their invention.
You'd think she might be happy not having to teach anymore and just work her incredibly successful business. But she didn't want to lose her professorship.
