I actually had an offer from my advisor to study for a PhD under him by basically taking on a major coding project to develop a non toxic format of social media, or at least to get as close to that as possible. I also remember it involving some non crypto uses of blockchain software potentially but my prof was more interested in the complex web development aspects of it and actually got my web design professor in on pitching the potential for it to me.

We had me enroll in a master’s level web design class to trial run it, and it turned out I wasn’t the webcode wunderkind they thought I might be given my good web design work for my courses so far. I’m creative but not a savant basically. We all agreed that my PhD potential was best sought after more design experience got under my belt.
