After watching it, I know why this thumbnail talks to me that much.
She talks about her story in physics research academia, she talked about my future in biology research academia.
Every point she makes in this video, I share them and I’ve been repeating it for years.
I love science, but I can’t do honest science in this system. It’s morally made to make money, and money is the sole reason why people write papers, not truth and discovery.
I really don’t know what I can do in my life with that much passion in a field but no way to practice it.

@tournesol
I've felt this way too and I'm sorry you're going through it. All I can offer is that if you keep searching you might find a way to put your passion and skills to use in a way you also feel good about.
I've felt super lucky to find amazing paid work at the grassroots org Research for the Front Lines, and we offer opportunities for lots of other researchers to contribute. https://researchforthefrontlines.ca/
I hope you find (or start!) a space where you can flourish!
@marcia currently reading through the comments and it’s astonishing the number of people who had the exact same experience.
I’ll keep searching knowing that it’s possible to find it’s own place in all this, thank you :neocat_heart:
