@timgill924 Pretty misguided advise if you ask me. My advise to any grad student is: actually be interested in your field. Get excited about the work and take every opportunity to talk to people whose work you respect and enjoy thinking about. While that may sometimes looks like “networking”

@RitchieTorres The US had roughly 35x the population of Israel. So the 1400 killed and 200 kidnapped when adjusted for population are 49000 killed and 7000 taken hostage. To be fair, though, the number of Palestinians reported killed in Gaza is also very high especially when similarly adjusted

The attack on Israel was both unexpected and devastating. For context: the current numbers (which sadly may go up) of 600 dead, 2,000 wounded, and 100 kidnapped in Israel are equivalent to more than 21k dead, 70k wounded, and 3.5k kidnapped adjusted to US population levels.
