Bladder Pain Syndrome
In the recent episode with Dr Rena Malik, the topic of bladder pain syndrome did not come up - except perhaps tangentially by the pelvic floor health. As an adult male with this chronic condition for over 4 years, I find myself exhausted (pain from the condition) and isolated (this is a condition that is primarily associated with women). Any advice or guidance would be deeply appreciated.
Advice for young scientists
Hello Andrew, Thank you for your exceptional efforts in making science accessible to a broader audience in a clear and practical way. Moreover, thank you for being a role model for (young) scientists. I am curious to know your insights and guidance for young scientists, especially concerning the future landscape of academic research - and the brain drain to industry. How do you think this will shape the future of science? Would you advise people to stay in academia? And how to deal with comparison in science? To me (an average postdoc), comparing myself to you (a science rockstar) makes me feel like I'm not making a real contribution to the field. Hearing you compare yourself to the professors in your building and your own experiences with comparison (in the podcast episode with Tony Hawk I think) was very reassuring.
