You and Your Research (1986)
There&#x27;s a part of this that&#x27;s never ever commented on<p>&gt;I don&#x27;t like to say it in front of my wife, but I did sort of neglect her sometimes; I needed to study. You have to neglect things if you intend to get what you want done. There&#x27;s no question about this.<p>As someone that got married during their PhD and is now finishing up and reflecting: it isn&#x27;t worth it. Neglecting the people in your life that love you in the pursuit of &quot;science&quot; is no different than neglecting them because you have a drug habit or because you&#x27;re an inveterate gambler <i>or because you&#x27;re chasing fame and fortune</i>. The science will get done regardless and the only thing you accomplish is ensuring your own interests. Suffice it to say I&#x27;m taking steps make sure my next gig has more room.
