   When I view science as under a state of collapse, everything about my scientific career suddenly makes sense. Of course there is no funding for nuanced problems. Of course there are very few opportunities - of which most are canned narratives in which I have zero authority to steer the research. Of course 99% of academics ignore or dismiss my scientific questions. Of course everyone is going down a rabbit hole. We’re not in a golden age of science. We’re on the brink of collapse.

     I genuinely don’t know what to do. If there is no funding for space pollution and I’m stuck with all-male departments holding me back, I’m not in the best place to fight. All I can say is, if you are doing science, stop going down rabbit holes. Stop researching fantasy. Stop prioritizing your h-index. We need you to fight for a safe, clean, and healthy planet.
