A reminder for folks in financial need: many PhD applications have application fee waivers, those waivers are not super onerous, and they are usually granted (at least at the two schools I'm familiar with). Please take advantage of them.

Genuine question: what is the profile of someone you'd suggest pursue a PhD program these days? With so much free & top-tier knowledge so widely available (and also so many great ppl & communities), who do you think should pursue PhDs? 🤔
Hmmm, my thoughts on this are much longer than can fit into a bluesky thread. For me, a PhD gave me the financial freedom and time to learn the things I wanted. It was a great deal. However, I had a fellowship and strong alignment with my advisor.

Do you think it's still worth it these days?
