  • XD fair enough ! Tbh I was just trying to see if this could be made into a joke. I’ve never had a proper taco (except maybe once, but I was drunk as hell and it was a very poorly made imitation that I wouldn’t call a taco) so I wouldn’t know what to eat it with. Please enlighten me, what kind of sauce do people put on tacos (if any)?

    I was actually joining the chat to write that things are not that different in biology. I have a PhD and 7 years of postdocs behind me. Over the years I have :

    • been denied a management position because “the team was only men, who wouldn’t listen to me” (spoiler alert, they put an incompetent guy in charge who screwed up massively and I ended up taking over, successfully).
    • had a boss who systematically doubted my opinion (while he was not a specialist of the topic) but listened to the very same argument from a male colleague
    • had male Masters students who could speak uninterrupted during meetings when I couldn’t
    • got denied a tenure position for a guy with the same profile (literally the same topic and same labs) but much less experience than mine (like 5 years younger) This last one broke me, I ended up quitting academia
