It's fun how, even as a pretty senior person, you end up in research projects with PhD candidates or postdocs who assume you an expert while you panicky try to read up on what you are working on and at least understand the basics enough to be able to follow and usefully contribute.
In other news: X-ray polarization is weird.

I’m giving a seminar on the #impostersyndrom in about 2 weeks, just in case you want to join. 😉
(Ironically, I’m also totally panicking and feeling stressed about it, because maybe I don’t know enough about the imposter syndrome to give a seminar about it…? 🙈)
@KorinnaAllhoff awww, good luck with that! Such an important topic!
This one truly isn't the impostor syndrome speaking, it's me going into a territory that I never worked in before and have very limited knowledge in (I'm mainly bringing the understanding of the of the geometry and dynamics of the objects we want to study, the polarization techniques and processes are all new to me!).
