And for everyone who didn't get the job that would have turned you into the academic super hero you know you are... It's a big galaxy full of opportunities to be great. Somewhere people need your skills and expertise. Find them. Maybe you'll find new parts of yourself too.pic.twitter.com/IPUq65VA6V

I know how heartbreaking and liberating this decision must have been.
