“…we find that, as they currently are, #universities actually act as barriers to the kinds of systemic transformations needed to secure a safe and secure future for all.

"If you continue to insist on working hours, I will stop mentoring you, stop giving you projects, stop supporting your science, pull your current projects from you. You may still get a phd but I am not optimistic."

"You are a bad phd student if you don't continuously measure something in the lab."

"I made your predecessor cry but then she finally pulled herself together so that was a good thing to do."
