When someone reads my paper and says "wow, you really did your homework," it doesn't make me feel good at all—it makes me feel like a failure for not being able to write something original on my own!

It's important to keep in mind that the work that we do has us standing on the shoulders of giants. It's only because of contributions made by those who came before us that we can even look further into the topics of interest today. If you're expecting to come up with something completely innovative that doesn't reference any previous work then you're gonna have a tough time

Hey there's no shame in using other people's work as the foundation for yours. That's all part of doing research and keep pushing something where other people left off. Collaboration is part of the process\

I don't understand, why would you feel bad? I think you should feel great. If you really try hard it doesn't matter if you look for inspiration from other sources. The important thing is that you post your contribution.

I’m currently a third year in my small firm’s life sciences team. I’m not really stimulated by the work and although they say they have a lot of work, they’re not good at managing workload.

However, I am concerned how I’ll manage the workload as a mom to a toddler. The good thing about my firm is that they’re flexible with hours. Anyone have experience balancing?

I am project manager in clinical research industry (CRO). After earning PhD, I gave up my science dream to take a more stable job. After slowly climbing the ladders, I feel like I finally got a seat at the table. Half the days I like the hustle, but now I miss being creative. I want to take more brainstorming, decision making responsibilities but I don’t see that in the career path for PM. Career path usually goes like this- Sr PM, Director l, Sr Director, and so on. But all do same work.

I have a degree in horticulture with lab experience.

Which one of us is more right than the other? I'm interested in getting as many viewpoints as possible, whether or not they agree with me or with her. Thanks!!!
