Module 2.1 Snippet: The Citation Fallacy

"In academia, your value is your citations. In industry, your value is your ROI. When you list 'Published 5 papers in Nature,' a recruiter sees: 'Can spend years on a single project without a commercial deadline.' We need to pivot that. We don't talk about the publication; we talk about the computational breakthrough or the efficiency gain that made the publication possible. We are shifting from 'What did I study?' to 'What did I build that saved time or money?'"
