See, I've never understood why biology is one of the weakest degrees in terms of job prospects or that it has one of the lowest starting salaries. In my opinion, biology is one of the hardest STEM fields, and the things you can do with a biology degree and advanced degree is amazing (in terms of the impact your work can have on society). I've always felt that because of that, biology grads should earn a lot more.

And thank you so much! I definitely feel fortunate to be getting published in some of these publications!
