Hi everyone,

I’ve been checking this forum but I have not managed to find duplicates (I’m using Summit for Lemmy). If that’s the case I’ll remove this post.

I’m about to start a PhD. I’ve been told I will be required to partake in publications and other shenanigans. I am not against it, but I’m very concerned about having my full name flying around the internet, as I’ve always been hesitant of sharing any of that information (real name, pictures, etc).

Ultimately, I only care for potential employers to know that it’s actually me the one who has written this or that, which I would happily disclose in private.

What’s the usual stance in this situation?

OP wants to be Satoshi Nakamoto
