wow didn't expect to see this on here, especially with that particular post title!

just to provide some context, this page is the epilogue of a ~100-page memoir of my Ph.D. experiences [1], so parts of it might not make any sense as a standalone article.

This is less related to the current thread but along the book you have not mentioned any deep social relations created during those years. Was that intentionally dropped or there were none because of the load? do you have any recommendations on the subject?

great question -- i should add a book FAQ soon. yes, i focused the book exclusively on research and not on my personal life. (also note that i didn't talk about classes, teaching, qualifying exams, or other non-research things)
