Thanks, glad you got something out of that, although I do hope things have gotten a little better now. The internet changed a lot of things, not only helping to bring stuff like what happened to me out in the open, keeping these professors somewhat in check. But also with things like steemit here, where people can more easily learn from others. I don't know if the outcome would have been any different, but had I been more informed or at least aware what to watch out for, I maybe could have prepared myself better.
Btw don't let my story discourage you in any way. I just happened to run into the wrong crowd, but I honestly do believe that there is scientific work that is very important for all of us. Reading back my own story I kinda forgot to put in the positive spin, now it's a bit darker than I had intended.
That usually happens after we publish the first time , it's ok It happened to me as well hahaha
I won't I am taking it as a cautionary tale with a positive spin! In the end we are the sum of our past decisions so if you are happy with yourself (I am in the process of being happy with who I am) then your choice was the right one!
That's my 2 cents on the topic though
