-- I mostly write for fun about my experiences, for fun, and for myself. Sometimes, it does help others find resources that
-they didn't know existed (like this conference I wrote about, for example), and I'm happy that some people find this kind of resource helpful.
-- I had a photo of myself and my poster but I decided to take it out for now, as I received recruitment that was a bit too stalkerish wrt my work just a couple hours after this post(!!), so I'm removing it until I feel better about it. Unfortunately, this has been an ongoing problem for me in grad school; persons seeking me out to extract / exploit the work that I am doing, (often for some kind of commercial interests) and yes, it is always upsetting.
-- I've spent several years truly studying in my area of expertise, after being pushed out of another area by some really awful, toxic people, losing access to another because of an advisor leaving, and I am now very passionate about the work I am doing, and finally finding my footing in it. I don't care about making your startup wealthy.
-- Otoh, if you'd like to truly support my work, you should cite it as needed, and give me credit when it is due instead.
