Choosing an #AltTrack path in academia is not easy either - mostly bc most lack a proper skill training for a life outside the ivory tower. Neither is is encouraged by PI’s who often see #altcareer as inferior options.

@escope_khan Subs are usually licensor-requested; they often want it to match audio. But R-click in web & choose AltTrack for English names!
