Not really “advise,” but here it is anyways. I have a Ph.D. in cognitive neuroscience and multiple research publications. I am tenure-track professor and have taught at the university level for about a decade. Once I had a undergraduate research student tell me that my information was wrong (it wasn’t) and that they didn’t need to learn anything from me because they already knew how to do research (they had zero publications and zero degrees). I’ve also had a senior undergraduate student ask in front of the class at the end of the semester why I was allowed to teach by myself if I was only an “assistant” professor and what were my qualifications. The “assistant” part is just a label in the tenure-track process. All professors have it for at least their first seven years of a tenure-track position. Little $h!ts. Pretty sure my male colleagues don’t have to tolerate this garbage.
