I am committed to calling out double standards in academia. This man says stuff like this, but I learned today that he drinks his coffee so slowly that he reheats virtually every cup in the microwave before finishing it… 🤔 #phdchat #destroytheivorytower
was just told that some ppl are making tea by heating water in the microwave?? if this is you pls stop it's not too late to change.
