RE: Science - An important, yet underrated subject

Hello @gentleshaid,
A few thoughts ran through my head as I read your blog. I'll share them in no particular order.
One thought has to do with the career path you have taken (not taken). I have a nephew who went to an Ivy League school. He graduated with a degree in mathematics. Nothing he does today uses that degree. He runs his own business (as you suggest you might) and deals with computer hardware. He is quite successful (I have such a clever nephew), but the education did not lead to a career.
Then, about writing science articles. You're right it takes days, or weeks for me to put together a Stem article. I try to think of something that is not only interesting, but is also useful in some way. A Stem blog, for me, is always an investigation. I never know where a blog will end until it is finished. Thanks for the mention.
Finally, I love Hive and the blockchain because of what you describe. This platform offers opportunity when it may not exist elsewhere. Hive is a door that, with effort, can be opened by anyone. Go Hive !! 🎈🎈
The continued deterioration of academics around here is what's making to have a change of mind. I still love science, no doubt, but not in the academic sense. With PhD here, you are 99% certain to end up in the academics if you are lucky enough to get a job.
Like I said, I've deviated away a bit from writing core science articles because very few can relate to it on the chain. Nowadays, I just try to simplify topics in a way that it will be relatable to everyone. I mean, only a few people will enjoy reading articles about how blue light is good for photosynthesis ahead of red light. That might be too technical for many.
I think hive remains massively undervalued in terms of blog2earn opportunity as well as being a repertoire of information. I'm certain it will take its place with time.
