I've entered the American healthcare system in 2017 and have had a lot of discussions with folks who were new to the system too. From my experience, the most common mistake that new folks make when entering is to make less than a six-figure salary.

Another reminder that attending conferences is often a privilege of those who have the financial means, a "good" passport, no access requirements, and no young, old, or sick family members to care for. Without fixing these problems academia cannot be truly inclusive

I wish academics would stop making so many claims and putting such a large emphasis on being the first to work on or publish on something. For one, there is usually more than one way to approach a problem and plenty of room for the many people to make valuable contributions.

When someone pays McKinsey 400k for a presentation, they are not paying for a talk. They are just paying for the brand name. It doesn't matter if that presentation follows a 7-step framework or is any good at all. Using that framework is not going to earn me 400k per presentation
