Yes. I've sometimes thought, for these reasons, that true 'with-person' interdisciplinarity almost impossible. Instead, you need excellent environments to bring together specialists on interdisciplinary topics (see, @interact_minds) - BUT

This is limited too, as without some actual generalists, I think collaboration can only get you so far. Very tricky and little existing training, infrastructure, or incentive (grantwise, intellectually it's a pleasure)

I've been thinking about this issue in medicine as well. We need to be more open to changes in the structure of disciplines as we learn how they interact

Academia is most of the time stacked, too afraid to move forward, to risk the little it has.

Yes, and people like to specialize and don't like to be wrong. I've had old school neuroscientists tell me psychology isn't a thing.

So much this. I've been treated as if I had a dunce cap on for entertaining ideas from philosophy and phenomenology.

Yes, there's risk everywhere you constantly wonder if you've made the wrong choice. simple questions like 'your work doesn't fit anywhere, where you gonna publish?' is enough to knock your confidence down

Don't let it get to you. Your unique perspective and contributions to the field are vital; same for others' in this thread and beyond.

In my experience, many people in science run after what they see others do, and if your work does not fit the 'majority/default/hype/dogma' they think it does not fit, or is not good or valuable. The opposite is true!

Sadly, I see that really often too. Whole swathes of work ignored because it's not trendy, etc.
