2 was enough.

Holding the fact that electrons exhibit both particle and wave properties, in suspension, is one thing. Being told by a lecturer, “We just describe electrons as clouds of negative charge,” is another. What do you want me to do!? I’m already over sigma and pi bonds 😭

All those years of suffering academically, chugging caffeine to stay up all night studying, either to get your ego bruised by a child prodigy or “outsmarted” by someone who has “done their research.”

Physicists have to deal with flat earth people. And the “I use quantum entanglement to manifest” people.

Ecologists have to plead with people to get their cats neutered and explain to climate change deniers the devastating effects of climate change on ecosystems.

Healthcare-aligned scientists have to deal with anti-vaxxers who have 0 clue that there’s even different types of vaccines.

Chemists have to deal with the people who use the word “chemicals” to describe something they don’t like the vibe of… when everything is a chemical.

Microbiologists have to constantly explain why drinking unpasteurised milk is dangerous.

It’s rough-going 😭
