A reviewer once remarked that I’m not worthy of being in my field of study. I’m so much happier since I left academy behind. I obviously love science, but fuck the current culture and people that enable and encourage such behaviour.
Goddamn… yeah, my PhD program was fucking toxic, but if nothing else, it was a learning experience. Doubly so when my advisor gave me the bad news that I failed the third prelim, and wouldn’t be continuing on. I was so relieved… it kind of hit me right then.
