Wasted an entire three-month internship trying to replicate this obscure geophysical result published by Chinese authors.

>post graduation unpaid* internship
>promised author credit on vague paper
>at the end "lol sorry we aren't going to publish now, also Idk anyone who I can connect you with for a job. good luck anon!"

why did I expect anything different lads?

It's just a fucking parallel world at this point. Feels like chinese universities live in an alternate reality where they just accept they can publish bullshit results amongst themselves

what a useless summer. glad i went into physics after all
