The study raises questions about the importance of socioeconomic diversity and the potential impact on health care.

      Eh, I can understand the anger, but it’s inherently reactionary and comes from ignorance rather than a bad place. Science likes to put up a nice facade of how it works. A lot of ECRs, myself included, go into a bit of shock at first during a PhD. It’s a lot of drudgery, data sorting, and paperwork. My field isn’t medicine but the skillset for reading into pop science and terrible admin written press releases from unis is cross-disciplinary haha.
