💯 We need people trained in evidence-based critical and logical thinking in all kinds of fields. Politics included - see current disaster in the US. PhDs/PDs from my lab are pursuing careers in diverse areas - policy, education, writing, law, as well as industry & academia. And that's a win for all.

Let’s stop treating "leaving academia" as negative. Scientists train for academia, industry, or what suits them. Industry isn’t an alternative; it’s a choice. In fields like engineering, most PhDs go to industry, and no one calls it "leaving academia." We should train scientists for diverse paths.
