Pre-doctoral pissantry
Ah, scientists. They’re eminently quotable, and their limbic effluxes give me fodder for a sometimes-ebbing blog.
To a first-year grad student on switching from engineering to a biomechanics PhD program: "Your work matters less, but you’ll be happier."
"Contextualize this."
"Ha! I win! I’ve caught you in a web of lies!"
"Turns out hyenas aren’t the only species where you have to be careful of the adult females."
"You mean Homo sapiens?"
"Let’s just say she hasn’t been very happy since one of the hyenas bit her thumb off."
"Did I miss as much as I wanted to?"
"More."
"Awesome."
