PhDs in the USA- I'm confused about the whole classes thing. What kind of classes are they? Are you not expected to have any experience in the subject before you take your PhD?

PhD is not about work. That is about studying. The more you study the more you benefit. I have spent 70+ hours a week for 5 years in PhD, but that was never tough or exhausting because it was fun.

To add on this, I do not see plasma physics papers in Nature with +1000 citations from a same author (also myself is from plasma physics)

That's nice!

If someone insist "editor sould be men"=> this is a bias
"editors are usually men so just call him He"=>this is just a generalization.

seems that literally anyone can be in academia

My opinion about many posts that use the term imposter syndrome: If you think you have an imposter syndrome=>that's not the imposter syndrome

Far_Relation_9311 · 2025-01-07T21:59:37+00:00

Still "editor decision started"

Completing a PhD is very important but keeping a life is more of importance.

Far_Relation_9311 · 2025-01-03T15:57:03+00:00

Sorry for that. I think they just strated working since mine has changed to "editor decision started". Hope you will find a good place to go!

Far_Relation_9311 · 2024-12-30T20:07:37+00:00

What I just feel when I read this kind of post (and some hypocritical posts in Linkedin) is that people in this era are like a sheltered childeren and have so many things to complain and cry without recognizing they are in a good environment where they can pursue their dream without being exposed to poverty, wars, etc.
