22 CVs of failure Am I alone? Scientific career failures (informal Google poll) melanie.stefan@ed.ac.uk ( MelanieIStefan) A CV of failures 24 November / 16

23 CVs of failure Am I alone? Scientific career failures (informal Google poll) Rejected (and not wait-listed) from all 9 PhD programs I applied to in a given year Not having the guts to enrol in an engineering degree because I thought, and still think, I m not good enough I ve failed to learn proper skills for giving a talk The main chapter of my dissertation has been rejected by five journals and remains unpublished 7 years later By many measures I did well. But somehow I just never got my head around what it means to understand enough about a topic to make a valuable contribution. So, just sort of general failure from a personality point of view to be able to play the game. Got into an episode of depression while studying for a Masters course that was wrong for me. I did not finish the degree melanie.stefan@ed.ac.uk ( MelanieIStefan) A CV of failures 24 November / 16

24 CVs of failure Am I alone? Extracurricular failures (informal Google poll) melanie.stefan@ed.ac.uk ( MelanieIStefan) A CV of failures 24 November / 16

25 CVs of failure Am I alone? Extracurricular failures (informal Google poll) I had flute lessons for five years or so, but every orchestra I have ever auditioned with has rejected me. Never managed to speak even a bit of Mandarin, after 4 months of intensive classes in China I do not find a partner despite the fact I would like to start a family. Giving up searching now. Failed driver licence exam, twice. Everything related with sports and competitive activities. Every time I m in a competition I just freak out and unintentionally give my worst performance I have always loved painting and dancing but I do not have time to carry out and practise these activities in time I ve failed at being a runner melanie.stefan@ed.ac.uk ( MelanieIStefan) A CV of failures 24 November / 16
