Replace all your PFAS cookware with an alternative of your choice.

Realizing that electric cars are not harmless to the earth; people think they're great just because they don't use fossil fuels, but the chemicals used in their batteries are definitely not inert. Just because it's better than gasoline does not mean it is good enough. We still have a lot of work to do.

Disposing of household chemicals properly. Our groundwater is way more contaminated than most people realize and it's kind of amazing we haven't all died yet. Look at what it does to fish, and then wonder how you would survive if you had to live in it. Please, there are safe methods of disposal, bleach or ammonia should never just be poured down the drain

When you are creating a concept for your landscaping, stick with plants that are known to thrive in your climate. Invasive species have been transported from other places so many times just because they're pretty, but it really messes up the ecosystem because nature has a way of surviving even when you think you have it under control

I got feedback from my manager telling me that I should always have an opinion, which is very hard in group settings, esp. when people are talking about a topic unrelated to my module. Any thoughts ?

When you tell your manager you are unhappy and they are excited that you are putting your notice and don't try and make any changes b/c the new person/persons they are lining up will just cleanup and make it better.

Then, they get here and you are left to train them on everything you do and your manager keeps saying "I owe you an apology" because they didn't realize how taxing and mind wrecking most processes you handled were... welcome to corporate

I feel like I'm doing everything right, but my research is not getting the attention it deserves.

I've submitted papers to all the right journals, gone to all the right conferences, and published on all the right topics. Yet no one seems to care—no one's citing my work!

How do I get people to pay attention?

I am fairly green in academia (< 1 year) and I want to shift to an area of research which I always wanted to do but never could as a Ph.D. student (because of conflict of interest).
The issue I am facing is that due to lack of my documented research experience in this field (read, lack of papers) I am finding it very hard to land any grant and reviewers keep saying "The PI hasn't demonstrated any experience in said research" blah blah.
Any advice on how to overcome this?
