Steal My Thesis Enjoy Your Ruin

The day the project I spent five years on won the top national award, I didn't give a standard acceptance speech.

Instead, I told a story.

"Five years ago, my thesis advisor completely trashed the preliminary data of Project Zephyr."

"The very next day, that exact project won a prestigious award—under someone else's name."

"And the only person who had ever seen that manuscript was my professor."

"When I confronted him, he turned it around on me, accusing me of offering him sexual favors just to get my name on the paper. The online harassment that followed almost destroyed my life."
