If a professor goes on “parental leave,” do they still do research? Or is that strictly their time off?

I mean do they research WHILE they’re on leave …

Some might have the intention of “getting a little writing done” while on parental leave, but their illusions will likely be dashed.

If they’re in the sciences, working in the lab simply will not happen at all.

And that is as it should be. Parental leave is not research leave. One’s chair and one’s dean are not expecting any research AT ALL to be done during parental leave.
