this goes for people who are not "researchers" too never let them see you bleed, don't freak out in public

Once again, if you are a senior researcher spreading doom to junior researchers, shut up shut up shut up. It’s your job to figure out a path forward, even in high uncertainty times. Come back when you have something constructive.

Our job is not knowing, but figuring it out despite not knowing. The edge always bleeds because reality is not at all forgiving. Road rash is an occupational hazard, and the scars are reminders that physics doesn’t negotiate with humans.

I think it’s less about being stoic, and more ‘Hug the suck and do it scared. Freak out when it’s over, not when freaking out is dangerous’
