i’m a first year phd in biomed still rotating and having difficulty in finding a lab that could take me. it is becoming impossible not to feel like an impostor in the field. i used to (and still do sometimes) believe that anything i didn’t know, i could take the to to learn. now i feel like not knowing enough is a weakness and makes me less competitive (even tho im already here). i am switching from behavioral to more computational stuff and am working hard to developing the skills necessary, but i am still feeling bad about not having a mentor who can support me in this.
honestly looking for advice on how i should handle this
