I didn't downvote it but it's possibly the "r/iamverysmart" feeling of it. It exists between the aforementioned and adding value to the conversation (ie, that certain current fields require both depth and breadth).


All I meant that in my field we are asked to have competence in a wide range of disciplines. In contrast to the 'r/iamverysmart' and consistent with the article, I feel intimidated by those that do specialize in those things I use. I am aware of a lot, but I feel like I am pretender in all of them. I constantly come into contact with the limits of my intelligence and I am not impressed.


This is what being active in life sciences research is like unfortunately. There is no luxury of concentrating one 1 or 2 things.
