The differences in attitudes of professionalism and accountability between most labs at university and the science industry is insane. Unfortunately some people who thrive in or foster a toxic culture will move up and make it harder for others.

Yes, especially when there's no system to stop toxic cultures. It's also a system that continues to elevate the privileged and oppress marginalized groups.

I read in my profession that you should look for supervisor who likes to work with you and see your strengths and weaknesses so the reasch work will be enjoyable.

Ideally yes but challenges include: - Supervisors who offer 'fake supportive' attitudes during recruitment - Early grad students being unfamiliar with what will work best for them - Stigma when leaving a lab environment - ... so much more

Its horrible for students on scholarship from poor countries, they think u came from the mud and u have no chioce, so they treat u with professional disdain and u just suffocate
