One of my favorite early Val Kilmer appearances is in “Real Genius.” Val did something special with a typical 1980s cynical rebel/wisecracker role, giving his character a layer of big brother warmth. It’s actually kind of sweet.

It seems like the cover letter is the most mystifying component of job applications for academics, at least among the astro folks that I interact with. 🧵 on how to write a strong cover letter relevant for both postdoc and faculty jobs.
