So close...

I randomly clicked on a new OT story, The Original. I skim down and note the professor is called Yew.

Yew? I think. That's unusual. Wonderful.

Then I realize Professor Yew is basically a fancy version of Professor Pine. It's a coniferous tree name that can refer to a specific tree, a number of related tree species, or a number of families.

Why do you mock me, fanfiction gods?

Ah, yes. Kudzu would be the highly prolific professor who has written a minimum of five papers in each scientific publication across all disciplines and specialties - and that was only what she did last week. Despite this, Kudzu isn't held in high regard by her colleges, who feel she's going for quantity over quality - and also that she's burying their papers under a mountain of her own.
