I still remember her fondly, as she had a very good understanding of her time and energy budget. However, I do remember one thing she said to me that sticks out, “You’re really brave going into STEM.” This was back before I relegated my cognitive neuroscience degree to a minor in favor of philosophy after suffering from burnout in addition to actually and genuinely loving philosophy more.

I double majored while working multiple jobs, and I didn’t have anyone teaching me about the impossibility of that from an energy economics standpoint. I’m not afraid to talk about that — student burnout and depression are real, and I wish more young pe
