  While I think we can all broadly sympathize with the complaints about politicking, but this rant also includes a lot of red flags. For example, saying that you have “never had any interest” in things like “being agreeable when you disagree” suggests that this person is just another one of the big ego assholes in the department, a full-of-themselves “rockstar academic” who can’t even be bothered with basic human kindness.

    You can work for a big pharmaceutical without being the one who deals with the political side of things or you can eventually leave because you’re tired of having to deal with it if it’s part of your role and you would rather do actual research.

    And would you look at that, from Wikipedia

    In 2022, she left BioNTech to devote more time to research.

  These are just people skills. Of course you’re gonna have to make people like you if you want to work with people. Half the brain is dedicated to networking with other brains.

  And it’s not actually that hard to agreeably disagree with someone. You say your thing, and then you do your little song and dance to make sure they know you respect them, and you go on your way.

  A little bit of humility goes a long way. Hard scientists aren’t above a little compassion, a little bit of care for explaining themselves to the public and to money movers.

  What’s the point of underlining like that? I mean you highlight something to make it stand out, but when everything stands out nothing does. If you really must highlight such an obscene amount of text, maybe draw a vertical line next to the paragraphs instead, and add a note in the margin about why you marked it. If you need to find the passage again you could also put a postit on the page. But underlining with a pen? That’s just poor style.
