This is not how it's supposed to be

I’m surprised the Flock cameras are allowed to exist in the US. Isn’t there a right to privacy written in the constitution?

How come none of the bullets were ever hitting RoboCop in the unprotected mouth area? Always a mystery to me!!

The purpose of code documentation now is saving on token spendings, otherwise, documentation can be generated on-demand for any code base.

Is it a power move to go to the gym in crocks?

@dramaricic I just let claude do my taxes haha

[Indignant PhD @IndignantPhD]

I just let Claude Cowork do my taxes on my FreeTaxUSA account. I just reviewed it at the end. Easy peasy!!

Lol someone got assigned physical oil on their future oil contracts 😂😱

I bet Gemini can do better research than at least 50% of PhD students in the US.

There should be a Yelp for PhD advisors. #phdchat @AcademicChatter

R is stupid tbh

The Nobel prize is the pyramidion of the academic pyramid scheme.

I don't understand the "postdoc" positions in the industry. What are they? Underpaid scientists? They seem to be a bad influence from academia.

Academic colleagues:
If you’re advocating that postdocs are “trainees”, you should back it up by showing where your former postdocs are now employed. If most are not in academia, then you’ve demonstrated that postdocs are cheap labor that make your life (as PI) easier. The end.

[Indignant PhD @IndignantPhD]

How about respecting, and supporting the PhD students' decision to pursue and prepare for a career in the industry? The industry route is still looked down upon, especially in big name institutions.

@yael_niv @ashleyruba The supply of available positions for which the postdocs are trained is extremely lower than what is implied in academia. That's not true in any other "training" program. In any other field, this discrepancy in supply and demand would be labeled a pyramid scheme at best.

Sept 2019, PhD student salary: $32k
Sept 2020, quit PhD, salary: $110k
Sept 2021, quit PhD + 1 yr exp: $150k
Sept 2022, quit PhD + 2 yr exp: $200k

Academia is a pyramid scheme. It's a ruse!!

[Indignant PhD @IndignantPhD]

PhD fellowship should be treated as a job with a living wage and benefits. Postdocs should be able to live comfortably, and save for their retirement. This is the only way to keep top talent in academia. Ow, get ready for full privatization of R&D #AcademicTwitter

[Indignant PhD @IndignantPhD]

The train of leaving academia is on full throttle. Everyday I see applicants from all levels, finally realizing that they don't need to sacrifice their mental and financial health to pursue their passion.

After only a few weeks of making this decision I found a great job where I do what I love and I get compensated proportionally. This was one of the best, if not THE best, decisions of my life. If you are miserable in academia, know that it's not your only option. #AcademicChatter

So, I finally realized my mental health worth much more than a PhD. I was in a dark place a few months ago and was ready to end it all but, thanks to a psychiatrist, I regained control and decided to pursue a career in industry and quit my toxic lab. #AcademicChatter #academia

@MaiaGoree96 One morning I walked into his office and told him I'm going to leave the program. I still remember how I felt after I walked out. It was a very strange feeling of relief. Like a 100 ton weight has suddenly been lifted off my shoulders!
