I kinda figured, with the tenure incentive, academics would be the first to figure out immortality.

FAQs
Is c/PhD related or connected to r/PhD?
No. Other than sharing pretty much the same rules and name as /r/Phd this community is not affiliated in any way with /r/Phd.
Did the idea for c/PhD come from the r/PhD community?
No. r/PhD was the inspiration for starting this c/PhD on Lemm.ee, but this idea did not start or come from within r/PhD.
Do the mods of r/PhD know about c/PhD? Yes. I consulted with them before opening this community, asking if they would be interested in coordinating activities or participating on c/PhD. Mods replied saying they have no interest in moving or branching out to Lemmy, and encouraged us to create c/PhD.

I realized I wanted to do research for a living, after working on my bachelor's thesis. This led me down the path of Ph.D. studies, which also allowed meto "cash out" a M.Sc. Degree half way through. But mostly, I just love researching new problems, having to be creative, and constantly facing new challenges. To me, that's what ultimately a Ph.D. degree prepares you for, and what it means: it conveys the fact that you are able to conduct new and independent research, to generate new knowledge.
