The real tragedy is that you almost didn't post this video. People NEED to know what kind of world we live in. This was more valuable than 99% of commencement speeches.

I am a neuroscience researcher and it is the same in my field. Scientifc research has become this vicious cycle of grant writing and publishing pedestrian papers - because to produce ground breaking research advances, it takes time...and grant cycles, tenure cycles do not give enough time.
And like you said Sabine, peer review of grants and papers is an "old boys club". It matters who you are and who you know...

I'm a PhD, and have a very similar understanding of modern academia. It is great that you have posted this video. Thank you

Hearing your story reminded me of that Franz Kafka quote:
“I was ashamed of myself when I realized that life was a costume party, and I attended with my real face.” I am glad you stood your ground after all. We need more people like you, and not just in Academia.

Your willingness to call 'bullshit' by its name is one of the reasons I watch your channel. Hats off, carry on!

The only sad part of this video is the ending where she contemplates not posting this, we need more people like this, telling the TRUTH even if it makes the majority of people mad, sad angry or whatever...it just helps everyone else make more informed decisions, I'm not interested in studying and school at all it's just a means to an end for me but if I WAS, I would have loved to see a video like this where nothing is hidden behind fake sunshine and rainbows.

I worked in a particle-physics lab for eight years and can confirm everything you said. My boss was female and the most senior Ph.D physicist there, but her male colleagues refused to call her "Doctor" even while trying to imitate her work (which was solid gold). This was in Canada; eventually she moved to Sweden and was much better treated there.

Dear Sabine, No, you have not failed. That you're not doing the "bs" scientific works doesn't mean that your dream of becoming a scientist failed. You're one of the best scientific minds, and your contribution to the field shouldn't be underestimated. You succeeded. Your dream is being materialized in a bit unique but beautiful way.

As a grad student, I had a professor plagiarize an entire term paper of mine which he used as a chapter in his book. My complaint to him and the department fell on deaf ears. I was told that my worked belonged to the professor because all grad work belonged to the professor who taught me. What a bunch of garbage.

Today I've discovered a hero that I didn't know I had! Thanks Sabine.

Bravo for standing up for yourself, your ideas and calling out the the pointless research that goes on. Glad to watch your channel.

I love it.

You didn't fail, Sabine. A corrupt system failed you. So happy to see you have reinvented yourself and found peace and a sense of fair exchange. You inspire me to keep trying to find a better future.

I'm going to send this video when asked why I dropped my PhD. So real, I'm glad I did that sooner.

My jaw dropped. That was a very powerful testimony.

That's exactly why I never went back to academia after my master's. It was all about what to do to get that extra grant. Everyone (including myself) was writing bullshit to get grants. I used to want to become a scientist since I was a child. The reality killed that dream for me too... I totally get it.

I'm very glad you did post this video. As a disillusioned postdoc stuck in an endless loop of writing hollow research papers to get grants that retread work already done decades earlier (with a fresh coat of the latest buzzword added); all the while trying to make ends meet on a salary you wouldn't need to go to school for in the first place, with no job security and my mental health destroyed; I feel happy to know there are ways out of this wretched system. You're not alone in feeling like you never fit in - a lot of us feel like our dreams are dead.

Hi, Sabine - I have had a different experience of academia, maybe partly because I've been a Prof at a smaller university where there is much less emphasis on grinding out papers and much more emphasis on sharing information with curious young minds. I'd like to make two points: 1) I admire you for telling your very personal story to your audience, and 2) although what you are doing now was not your original dream, I think it is in fact HUGELY IMPORTANT and that you have found your true calling in being such an effective educator on the Internet. As you stated, information is expanding so quickly that it is growing beyond our means and our time to learn it all. What we need more than people writing more papers is people explaining what all this information means in understandable terms. You are VERY good at this! So keep your chin up and keep doing what you are doing. You are providing an extremely valuable service!

After finishing my PhD I went to a university-led session on ‘What Comes Next.’ What I heard sounded a lot like “now, you beg for money.” It was so depressing to think about all the very clever people in that room who had worked so very hard only to find out they had no financial security and would be spending most of their days asking for money. I realized that even what I thought of as the ‘safe path’ was uncertain so I may as well go after what I truly want. That led me here.
