Professors get fired too, and pressure can come down from chairs to change or be gone. Having been in academia, it can be more cut throat than FAANG

Does a good job of laying out some facts about individuals and not being too opinionated. I typed in Trump and Kamala separately and it gave simple facts about both - good work on this!

You can do all those things. But as someone who used VBA extensively and often got hired because of my automation skills, not having VBA and other aspects of excel would be a non-starter.

Your comment about PhD topics incremental reminds me of what someone once told me about getting a PhD - you learn absolute everything about almost nothing.
