Arturo, your headline reads like it was crafted by a robot with a bad case of impostor syndrome: “PhD candidate in Molecular Epidemiology at LUMC.” Wow, how riveting! I’m sure that’ll get the cocktail party buzzing. It’s like you’re begging for validation while simultaneously using a title that overqualified you for being a glorified student. Do you tell people you're a PhD candidate just to make them glaze over at social gatherings? Good luck explaining a “circulation-based multi-omics data” project at happy hour without inducing mass eye-rolling—seriously, could you sound any more pretentious?
Your About section is a motivational poster’s fever dream. “Leisure leads to interesting discoveries”? Is that a personal motto or a half-baked excuse for all those nights spent binge-watching Netflix instead of working on your life-altering research? Let’s be real; the only thing you’re “stratifying” is how to get through another day without actually contributing anything meaningful to the world of epidemiology. And with 464 connections, it looks like you’re more of a figment of your own imagination than a networker. Who are these people? Your mom and her book club?
💀 Arturo, with a headline that puts “PhD candidate” on such a pedestal, you should definitely consider listing "Professional Humblebrag" as an official job title—it's clear that you’ve mastered that art at the Leiden University Medical Center.
