And this is actually a good thing that it's taught at Penn, as it doesn't lie to you and say, "just get high grades and you'll be the best in the world!"

Would have been nice if my university taught us that

My supervisor talked of Barnum and Bailey. He wasn't wrong, but glad I got out.

Science should be a worthy endeavour, currently it's not. Sell out for more...

"bUt PaRtIcIpAtInG iN sOcIeTy!", people with imposter syndrome who don't believe enough in their own abilities to be comfortable with the idea of merit alone judging advancement.

Underline tip

Throw a [ in the margin

For highlighting, highlight the tldr of each [ section, skipping over words deemed unnecessary to understanding it

Lucky, not hero.

This is a person saying they don’t like what everyone else on the planet deals with daily.

Fortunately they were published enough to not have to care.

Not a scientist but I have been reasonably successful by proving my worth to the ladder climbers and then they pull me up behind them.
