    This is actually sad to see.

    “An advocate of women in science until recently” makes you think what really are their priorities.

      academia is toxic for everyone, but especially for women, and especially in STEM

        The stories my female doctor friend tells me about treatment from male colleagues or female superiors is freaking rage-inducing. But 99% of the time she can’t do shit about it because she’ll be ostracized or risk her job, or in the past risk residency or placements. It suuuucks.

      I looked more into that.

      She did an interview in which she said that she did not like the academia Life but wants to focus on her social media career, which includes of, but also a YouTube channel where she published science related videos

      So still doing science stuff, but not pursuing a PhD anymore.

        Have you never heard of scientists or artists? Lots of people prioritize passion over money.

      I hope my daughter gets to look up to women established in STEM fields.

      Seems like a busted world where there’s more money in sex work than academia.

      It’s just one woman. She doesn’t represent whatever “they” you are refering to because there are a lot more women who don’t take this path.
