Do not trust, verify. A mistake in the choice of your PhD supervisor can cost you years of work and potentially your future career as well. Checking out opinions from previous employers/students/collaborators is not stalking, it's due diligence.
(Same for HR & prospective salary)
Cannot stress this enough for prospective PhDs: talk to past/present students in the lab *in private*.
Everything looks rosy from the outside.
If PI seems reluctant to put you in touch with lab alumni, keep looking!

Honestly, the amount of flat out stealing that happens in web3 really reduces my enthusiasm for the space. Scams galore... people taking your words and work and
My grandfather was number 63078.
Aged 22, he was deported to Essen’s concentration camp (Germany) as a political prisoner and forced to slave labor until his liberation by the Red Army, in 1945.

Can hyperalignment computationally tackle the phenomenological similarities and differences between subjective experience? A very engaging philosophical/neuroscientist debate arose just before the closing remarks.

• To have CREDIBILITY in their statements/arguments women should often find someone (usually a man) to back them up
• Women don’t get much CREDIT for creativity (original ideas, analysis pipeline) as much as they get for labour (data collection, organizational tasks)
