I struggle with two conflicting ideals and this is probably in part because I've not been on social media since FB was a new thing. On the one hand I want to keep myself anonymous, on the other I want to share my experiences as a person and in particular as a person in science, my thoughts and critiques of scientific field etc.

The former ideal constraints the latter. There's always the thought in my head whether the aggregation of things I write here could be traced back to me. Frankly, the later ideal forces the former too in a sense. Among other things one reason I want to stay anonymous is to shield myself from backlash.

I'll see how I handle this conflict. Right now this thought is just out there.
