> if I wanted to do a career change and start working in computational biology, would I do another PhD? Of course not! I would read papers, find good mentors and colleagues in the field, and start doing work in the space.
I mean I’m sure that’s all good and fine for the author who if I understand correctly already has academic accomplishments and connections to lean into with.
But what if I or John Nobody wanted to work in computational biology? Am I supposed to just start reading and than reach out to randos working in the field and beg them to let me work for/with them?
