People often give advice based only on their personal experience (N=1). Beware if they do not mention luck/happenstance/serendipity and provide the larger context, the landscape of the field, possible risks, different pathways, and under what conditions their advise may not work.

"Women at Harvard deserve educators who respect them."
Ok, there were 3 classes remaining. Still.

I have had other colleagues from Europe tell me they simply will not attend conferences in the US for the foreseeable future because they no longer feel welcome. They have seen the stories of travelers detained and don't want to hand their social media over to the current administration for approval
