I’ve just been re-reading that; it’s so good

There’s a lot more discussion in the post — it’s a good read, and I highly recommend it!

Good thread about how academic culture often rewards narcissism and abuse. It doesn’t help that media depictions of scientists often play strongly into stereotypes of misanthrope geniuses. We need to stop valorizing people who climb the career ladder on the backs of others.

Anyone who says societal pandemic precautions aren’t needed anymore in the US because “we have the tools” to deal with Covid needs to read this thread in its entirety.
