Interesting bio on Derek Mitchell - https://fluids.leeds.ac.uk/2021/09/24/lifd-early-career-researcher-spotlight-derek-mitchell/

"What did you wish you knew before starting a PhD?
That what may be straight forward to an engineer is opaque, or even controversial to some sectors of biological academia and that even the scientific terms can be can be at odds e.g. Thermal is related to temperature in biology, but energy in engineering. One upshot is that cross-discipline research, needing sign off from both sides does not get funding if the research area is not understood and/or not seen as relevant by that section of biology, even if it is plain sailing for engineering. So at present and probably for some time my research will be self funded."
I sometimes feel the same :) I might have to go back to grad school to balance out the playing field.

Can't wait to read his third paper.... hopefully hitting the virtual shelves soon.
