While still in academia, I tried to build “industry-relevant” experience through collaborations, internships, and side projects. It helped, but it also added extra workload. Looking back, I’m glad I made the effort. What experiences helped you transition more smoothly into non-academic roles?

Finally, closure. I now understand the "not creative enough" feedback from McKinsey.

Seriously, shout out to all the great people at Mck having to suffer from the stupid actions of a few. It will blow by soon. Keep your heads up!

Graduating senior. Have choices between MBB and SWE at FAANG. Not sure what to do. Long term I’d love to be in a small startup or a leader in a tech company. Not sure which path is better for that. Any thoughts?

Best way to approach networking with MBB if I am planning to apply for roles in Jan 2024 (1 year from now). Do people start with their school alum and get referred to partners?

Ladies, did you change your last name after getting married? I’m worried about the impact it will have on my publications.

Does your PhD define your research for your career?

One of my coworkers has withheld information that's important to my research because of a personal conflict we had. Should I speak to management or is it his right?

Anyone in the clinical lab space want to connect and briefly discuss potential ways we could collaborate

Which field of science do you think is underfunded, and why?

Genuinely curious if Bill Nye encouraged anyone's science career?

It is elementary that the development of a theory is based on completed and finished works or theories with a sufficient basis to be possible. But what were guys like Plato based on? He could only rely on what his mind told him. It must have been very difficult but at the same time, they were very brave in defending their ideas.

I recently heard someone say that: "Wokeism is destroying academia." Curious everyone's thoughts on this...

Science & Democracy... Thoughts?

How do you find test subjects for your research project? What kind of incentives do you like to offer?

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?

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?
