Mary Canady @marycanady.bsky.social · 19/11/2025Today’s #iwantitforfree is an honorable mention.

Mary Canady @marycanady.bsky.social · 17/11/2025Today's #IWantItForFree is from the archives, and I'm naming names. UCSD's microMBA program used to have a "coffee chat" that was PART OF THE CURRICULUM and they relied on biotech professionals to mentor for free. I did for many years and when I asked to be paid my hourly rate, they said no. 010 1
