Wow Alex, I'm absoloutely blown away. This is an amazing read, and I think many of us who stay in science and watch our peers also have the same thoughts. I really loved the optimism at the end - we stay because we want to make a positive change. We stay because improving the lives of patients is what really matters. Alas, how else could we survive grad school and the emotionally gut wrenching repeated failed experiments.
