My advice for anyone in a similar situation is to go for a job in a different field.
Tell them that you reached the goals you had set for yourself in your previous field (PhD, published peer reviewed works etc). Tell them that you feel it is time for you to explore other fields and that you have an affinity with the one you're applying in. Then tell them the most important thing you learned during your previous endeavors: you have the capacity to learn and adapt

Makes me wonder, would epigenetic speciation be possible?

Molecular biologist.
It's mostly a matter of what we don't know. Paleontological evidence certainly shows that horseshoe crabs didn't change much in their appearance. However, we just don't know to what extent other aspects of their biology are as conserved. Therefore, it is just unscientific to say that horseshoe crabs are 'living fossils' or that they didn't evolve for millions of years. They may have, they may not have

Absence of paleontological evidence of change in appearance does not mean evolutionary stagnation

Interesting take. Do you have any material about the shortcomings of agile? Podcasts or articles or w/e

Self-driving cars
I bought into the hype 10ish years ago. I had expected it to revolutionise road transport.
