What does /sci/ think about "outreach" inclusion in grant writing?

I have had discussions with my grad colleagues recently how you have to include how you are going to "have outreach to the community" if you want your grant to get funded.

What sort of bullshit is this? I don't want to go teach first graders about the periodic table, I want to finish my PhD.

Grant writing is an inherently flawed, shit and terrible way to support academic research, but this new "outreach" shit just makes it worse.

What's wrong with me /sci/

If I lock a gate, I have to check two or three times to make sure it's properly locked. I also do this with my car, I'll put it in park, take the keys out and walk away, only to backtrack and make sure it's still in park, despite the fact that it's impossible for me to have the keys if it's not in park.

My speech is very deliberate, and will often have to think for a few minutes to determine whether or not what I have to say is appropriate.

I have great difficulty speaking in public, and will stammer if asked even a simple question.

Whenever I talk to people, I make a great effort to smile while they're looking. If I'm not smiling they'll ask me what's wrong. And I'm worried if I explain to them why, they'll think I'm especially weird, and will lose my weird friends.

That's all I can think about at the moment. Thank you for your time.
