This is actually sad to see.

"An advocate of women in science until recently" makes you think what really are their priorities.

    The stories my female doctor friend tells me about treatment from male colleagues or female superiors is freaking rage-inducing. But 99% of the time she can't do shit about it because she'll be ostracized or risk her job, or in the past risk residency or placements. It suuuucks.

    I looked more into that.

    She did an interview in which she said that she did not like the academia Life but wants to focus on her social media career, which includes of, but also a YouTube channel where she published science related videos

    So still doing science stuff, but not pursuing a PhD anymore.

    Why do people become teachers in the US? Certainly isn't "for the money".

    Have you never heard of scientists or artists? Lots of people prioritize passion over money.

    I know many many artists, and none of them would resist an offer to do what they're passionate about in exchange for lots of money. Or to do what they're not very passionate about in exchange for lots of money. Or even something they downright hate doing, in exchange for lots of money. Having lots of money means you can invest in those things you are passionate about.

    And yet, lots of people choose not to do what they hate for money. Obviously, if you can get paid well for doing what you love is a win-win, but the point of my argument is that a lot of people don't really care about money, beyond having enough to get by.
