But also… I like functioning 🥲 ☀️ ☀️ ☀️ So I thought I would share some of my fears about the future with you ☺️ Maybe it can help you feel less alone if you’re having the same fears or feelings as me 🥹 You’re not alone! The future is scary enough without having to think about the crisis the world is in 🥺 ☀️ ☀️ ☀️ I hope you guys manage to stay strong through it all though 💪🏼 It is scary, but I have good faith that we (and science) will find our way through this uncertainty 😊 No doubt! ☀️ ☀️ ☀️ #fears #future #futureofscience #science #phd".
