Episode notes

In elementary school, no members of my amily were scientists. I just wanted to be a scientist. The idea that there was a competition and not that many people got to do it professionally t wasn't something that i knew enough to worry about at the time. Those anxieties about whether or not i was good enough didn't come in until i started thinking about graduate school. James ferena says, i have a daughter considering a career in anthropology. So i'm hopeful, slash optimistic, that such a contribution will be found.

Welcome to the August 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). We take questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable number — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic.
