I think it is great that Jean (and Philip) both wrote these up. But, to be honest it 100% depresses me to read them. Graduate school has not been easy for me and I had no first author paper submissions for 5 years and ended up having to being part time for 3 years to support myself and my family. (My research is well in hand now. I finally submitted my first paper and have 2 more going out this calendar year. Sometimes it takes a while to find your passion&#x2F;research area.) Given my family situation I am not able to do internships and in many ways I don&#x27;t want to. I am going to go back to coding now because this is too depressing to read.
