It’s a very nice research environment. I think you will thrive there. I recommend using the freedom from publish-or-perish pressures to take the time to pursue long-term research projects and think deep thoughts.

Universities need to be sustainable through concurrent applications of knowledge by their students to generate income streams for their obligations.
