"Stage three: the lover
The lover for me signifies the PhD student and that first post-doctoral
job.
Many of my fellow professors have witnessed the endless hours of work,
often in poor conditions for a disgraceful amount of money, that Alex
would be expected to do if he embarks on a PhD. He will put up with this
as he is in love. He loves the work. He loves the pursuit of knowledge.
He loves the creativity that goes with his research. One could argue
that Alex is blinded by that love."
