Every time I get too busy as a scientist, I am drawn back to Astro City issue #11. The Silver Adept is a mystic super hero and an academic. Even with a full time assistant to help her manage her load, she finds herself needing more time so she travels to another dimension where time moves more slowly than on Earth. She uses it to complete a writing project before the deadline. Thinking it would be great to have that portal to the other dimension. sigh.
