So much better than the normal "2.5 feet across to the opposite poster"! Not needing to do a side step-wiggle-boogie down the isles was a treat

I feel like the last few decades of education have been focused on pushing kids to commoditize themselves. Get degree X + take degree Y = profit. Then we get confused when they're totally burnt out at 25.

FWIW I'm totally in agreement with the theory to keep taking risk - there's too many folks out there who've never gotten off the ground for fear of failure. But for many the luxury of taking a risk is often just that - a luxury.

my worry is that, for a lot of undergrads, grad students, and baby scientists, "luck" = "don't bother, it's all a scam". You have to keep trying(applications, grants, networking, finding mentors) if you want to eventually win. The slow accumulation of little "r" risks matter in the long run.

Every time I read something like this I'm immediately reminded of the Kodak "Shirley" cards.
Color film was built for white people. Here's what it did to dark skin.

i think there's also good argument here to be made for good "core lab" setups. Just got back from a conference where I chatted with folks from the Boston area who were amazed at impact of working from Athens, GA. Whelp yeah - our job for the past few decades is to collaborate with y'all.
