"The idea that the presence of a signals that there is something wrong with the person reporting it is not only a dangerous over-simplification, but it can also prevent us from exchanging ideas productively with people who have different worldviews and values in a number of different contexts."

@natalie @academicchatter @phdlife @phdstudents Sometimes a paper is really two papers! We tend to be overly ambitious to start with and set out to do too much. Is there some way to meaningfully split your 17000 words into two interrelated but self-standing papers?
