I guess half of the people subscribing to me are academics or at least have a solid background in some subject from category and homotopy theories to biology, CS or some other fancy thing. Meanwhile, my H-index: −273.15 °C.
I wouldn't say I feel uncomfortable, but I think I finally need to start publishing papers and find a PhD position (:
@abcdw While I didn't plan this out, for programming and systems I recommend seriously studying biology because of all the mechanisms and metaphors you'll learn.
So up to college level general biology, whatever is the equilivent of Helena Curtis nowadays, and molecular genetics is also lots of fun.
