I second that! Not just because I am an optimist by nature. I chose to apply for my current position, realising in advance (up to a certain extent) what it would entail. I can only trust that it shows I'm generally enjoying what I'm doing!

I like how "risk of scaring excellent researches away" does probably not connect to 90% of students. Who in their right mind would consider themselves excellent in such a international and competitive field?
Replace Microbiology without your discipline of choice. Not all days are great but I'm fortunate that the number of good days at work far out weigh the bad. https://t.co/zzFNhK39cd
