I’m lucky that I can say yes. That said, I still wouldnt do it for free. What about you, how do you feel about your job/career/field in general?

I’m happy with the work I do—I find it rewarding personally and the inkling of a possibility that it might be useful one day for any number of biological applications is exciting.
Unfortunately, I am entirely replaceable, compensation is meh for the level of education, and society as a whole does not place much value in basic sciences so career prospects are bleak (and this was BEFORE the current administration).
