Dr. Block at Irvine, for one, says she dares not extend her tenure clock, a decision that is made at the end of the probationary period in the University of California system.
If something goes wrong with the signaling cascades say, if a stimulatory molecule is overproduced or an inhibitory molecule is inactivated the clock's decision-making ability may be impaired.

By far the most influential such model is the pacemaker accumulator model based on an information-processing model of scalar timing theory, consisting of three key components: clock, memory, and decision stages.
With the clock ticking, bad decisions went unchecked, warning signs went unheeded and small lapses compounded.
And for much of the game it put the Jets in position to win in spite of Mark Sanchez, who made blunders in clock management and decision-making that mirrored his problems in Sunday's loss to the Patriots.
But a new study suggests they both share one trait: As the clock ticks, their decisions get dicey.
The problem is first attacked by integrating the parallel-to-serial conversion, automatic gain control (AGC), decision, and clock recovery functions in CMOS at rates about 500Mb/s.
"That was sort of the point where no one knew what was going on," said Jeffrey Gonyeau, the only person with keys to the clock, who made the decision to halt it.
