I get to call this fox my friend. 🤩
Laura and I are in similar places in life, in the same field, with the same feelings of uncertainty about the future. Being a woman in science, or honestly just a person in science can be super stressful. If you aren’t going to med school or following a clear-cut path of another health profession, sometimes it is just really hard to know how to move forward.
Even if you’re lucky enough to find and be accepted by a grad school program, there are countless people in the field that will tell you not to get a PhD, or even a Master’s, because you won’t be able to get a job when you’re done. That’s pretty disheartening for those of us who just love the sciences but also love having a job, health care, etc. Sometimes there just is not right answer. 🤪
