It's hard learning you're living with a disability and didn't even know. And you don't know anyone else IRL that has the disability. So there's always this nagging impostor syndrome of "maybe I'm not really disabled", or this uneasy feeling like you have no feedback if you're living disabled life "right" or something. #ActuallyAutistic

One thing I never thought about is how the longer a scientist is out of work (due to war, political instability, etc) the more likely it is that they’ll be lost to science (in other words, the less likely they are to return to scientific work when they can). That could potentially be like a chilling effect on steroids.
