Transitioning From an Industry Mindset to an Academic Mindset

The last two years of a PhD here, like the six years or something, whereas the first few years are normal coursework. So I didn't get to have like a cohort in psychology or neuroscience or anything like that. But I have friends now. I go to conferences and I have friends. And one part I don't want to ever not do is stop building. I want to keep building things, building like rigs and pushing technology a bit forward.
