it is truly important. This is again a topic I try to have an honest conversation about with myself. If I am slipping into comparative and competitive mindsets, I remind myself that all of us are different and there’s not really any comparison, and all of this work (improving education in engineering) is important beyond the accolades and achievements. This can be easier said than done when many systems and academic cultures seem built to compare and evaluate us, but overall it gives us a healthier relationship to each other and to ourselves.“A PhD is a marathon, pace yourself.” Some of us might have gotten through prior milestones (college, high school) by cramming for tests or
