If Mike Israetel's PhD is So Bad, What Makes a PhD Good?

Hey! I’m an NIH postbac scientist, molecular & computational biologist, and aspiring MD-PhD exploring the intersection of biology, computer science, philosophy, and medicine. I’ve earned bachelor’s degrees in Biology, Philosophy, and Computer Science, and graduate-level education in Entomology, Science & Religion, and Computer Science. That mix helps me connect the dots between the smallest molecular structures in the human body to the biggest questions about cosmology, natural and artificial intelligence, and human flourishing. Here you’ll find: Evidence-based thoughts and myth-busting STEM career & productivity advice for ambitious learners Discussions on philosophy, consciousness, and the future of medicine I AM NOT: your TikTok doctor, wellness guru, or self-help bro. I AM: the scientist who calls out junk science and explains what is actually true. Subscribe if you want real science, real philosophy, and real talk — with humor, honesty, and evidence.
