Tragedy

Okay, so I'm very bothered by the recent shootings at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. The details being revealed about the shooter are frighteningly similar to me. I am a female scientist (graduate) in chemical biology, suffer from mental illness, and own handguns. I have aspirations for an academic career, but am a little scared of it now from the course evaluations I got as a TA. I kind of did not have such a problem with them, I know how heartless students can be on evals, and one must take comments with a grain of salt.

Bottom line: I'm depressed, but not stupid.
