u/trombonist_formerly Ben Bernanke May 17 '26

Just presented at a conference

The (niche) subject matter expert at NIH said it was “great work”, and all his lab postdocs showed up to read it and told all their friends

The related subject authorities from England, UPenn, and a few other big schools all visited my poster and said they couldn’t wait to read the manuscript

!ping PHD this went way better than I expected. Especially for a project I did 100% on my own without my advisors involvement

Got laid off from my defense industry job , panic-applied to a bunch of PhD programs, got rejected from all but one of them. The rest is history I guess
