    The problem with epidemiology is that doing your own research is mostly sitting in front of a computer fiddling with code and thus is sometimes difficult to distinguish from "doing your own research"

        Don't forget whatever Netflix program is on in the background. 100% how all PhDs happen these days: number scrolling, Ted Lasso, and a modest-yet-niche cocktail to boost the confidence. I basically have 16 doctorates right now, plus a hangover that presents as stage-4 pink eye.

        . @GidMK but if I’m working on idea of a seed my mentor planted months ago, does that mean I’m doing someone else’s research 🤔🤔🤔

        For 2.5 yrs when I cdn't work due to ME/CFS, I "did my own research," using PubMed but mostly patient gps on facebook. Not only was it helpful, it allowed me to return to work and pay taxes. Terrible idea. Patients shd wait 20yrs for publicns, lying in bed needing care. Sarcasm.

        There are plenty of people that medicine refuses to treat. Viz, the long covid patients, who did their own research. It's ok if you have long covid but not ME/CFS? We did some patient-led surveys on vaccine side effects that AZ is now asking about. But we get insulted every step.

        The difference between looking for advice on StackOverflow forums about an issue running a modelling script in R, and looking for advice on Covid-19 on some other forum, is subtle from the outside, but very important.

        But the output is very easy to distinguish!
