Comment on Academic writing

I’m still pissed at being forced to write in a passive voice in university. It’s awkward and carries less information, and makes it seem like nobody had any agency, science just kind of happened on its own and you were there to observe it.

I don’t know why anyone would prefer something like “An experiment was conducted and it was found that…”

To the much better “We conducted an experiment and found…”
