bednobs, thanks for asking. I've already got a title that I'm happy with that's one of the highest in the land from previous work I've done. The title is already more senior to some of those in the news today.
The reality is that I've turned down another this year which would have put me in an exclusive "club" with limited membership that needs someone to die before someone can join. I find it macabre.
Since this crisis began, I believe that credit should go to to the younger, remarkably talented people that have made a real impact during this crisis and have become household names as a consequence. My work has involved leading a talented hand-picked team in a certain military research laboratory which has been at the forefront of Covid research without the usual publicity.
MrsProf tells me I've already got my fair share of titles and she's probably right. I really don't need anymore.
