Scenario

When academic partners become competitors for the same opportunity

My research partner and I have been collaborating for five years and we're both up for the same prestigious fellowship that would change everything for whoever gets it. We're trying to act normal but the competition is affecting how we share ideas and I don't know if our partnership can survive this.

More people experience this than they realize.
