I spent half my life pursuing a PhD in biotechnology. I dedicated myself to honest science—running experiments, being critical, and trying to disprove my own hypotheses. Eventually, I earned my degree. It was grueling but meaningful work.
Then you see this.
This woman just received a PhD from one of the so-called “elite” universities for a thesis claiming that describing smells is racist. Yes, you read that right. The core of her research? If you say someone stinks, people like them less—a concept any child learns from cartoons at age four.
Her abstract is stuffed with pretentious language and inflated words, making a simple idea sound profound. But what’s worse is that this kind of “scholarship” is increasingly being legitimized.
At least this is an eye-opener. Academia is dead. And we can no longer take these so-called “elite” universities seriously.
