Just say show me for ways make da fg cuzz.
Filler Fluff = 1 point

1 point = mad & me do too.
I have a PhD in mathematics and have read my share of academic bullshittery. Your post, which I read in its entirety, screams it.
Take a breath for a moment and think about why you’re having this reaction.
What do you think i could be trying to achieve here?
I dont know why your PhD would be relevant, but in glad you were succesful in doing it! Congratulations! I wish i too had a math PhD. I sometimes have taught simpler math (applications of dif equations in neuroscience to our smaller research group, but i’m just a happy amateur.
I am midway through a PhD in neurovascular hemodynamics, whicj i chose for the math actually - but also do work with the computational neuroscientists at our centre, and want to move in that direction. I have a medical degree before that but no residency training yet.
I have been interested in psychology since i was a teenager, but consider myself to be too chaotic for a field like psychology, they have their own chaos, i need the structure of a higher evidential standard.
I get maaaany flights of theoretical fancy every day, and especially if im playing a game (like ive been doing a bit for the past month) this is simply one of those.
What kind of math did you do you PhD in, and did you like it?
