This was an very interesting thought to me.

The idea that you are not worthy to be trained because your training takes up too much of people's time also implies, that you don't believe you have anything valuable to contribute to science, once your training is over. 1/ https://twitter.com/xiaofei_lin/status/1275150036850995200
So, to me this goes beyond belonging.

Someone who believes that they will contribute to science in a meaningful way once they get trained, will not hesitate to take up people's time.

To add to Fay's point, we need to have a conversation around believing in ourselves 2/
Putting ourselves down has become more socially accepted than expressing confidence in our skills.

Most of us are afraid to sound arrogant when we express confidence.

So, let's make this a thread of self-belief.

Who believes that they can rock their PhD?
