no it's not. but you should know what you're getting into.
in the beginning of my PhD i really loved what i was doing. from an intellectually point of view i still do. but later, i.e. after 3 years doing a shitty postdoc, i realized that I was not cut out for academia but nevertheless loved doing science.
however, i was lucky to find a place in industry doing what i like.
so i guess my 2c is: think about what comes after the PhD and work towards that goal. a PhD is usually not a goal in itself. hth
in my mind 4°c is sufficiently stable and should be stable enough to not have me worry about volume contraction influencing airlock activity. wikipedia says volume contraction should be minimal at these temps https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_expansion
I'd say two days at your average temperature without airlock activity is sufficient to call fermentation done. cheers
i can see your issue here. but wouldn't you want to aim for a somewhat constant temperature during fermentation? my understanding is that yeast will produce different aroma profiles with different temperatures. so depending on the style you are aiming for on would choose a different temperature.

uh thanks for the update! I'm happy your beer is coming along nicely. personally I wouldn't bother with hydrometer readings during fermentation. it sure is nice to see the numbers change but i find airlock activity to be just as good. i take a final reading after bubbling has stopped (only because I'm curious, never used the value for anything), and call it a day. anyways cheers!
any indication of airlock activity? did you taste it? (never used a wireless hydrometer: did it become stuck somehow, bubbles stuck to it may cause it to float, giving readings which are too high)
sorry didn't check the original picture. mine has a drain. can't remember where i bought it though. but it should be easy to install one. the metal is quite thin

merci pour le partage
thanks for the explanation. i guess it really doesn't work as a meme if I've doesn't happen to know this particular image.

bought mine 3 years ago. it's my favorite summer sport now.

yeah this is what i used for some projects, i.e. rmarkdown which also integrates the statistics part
and then there are fucking PIs insisting on word files who never heard of tracked charges let alone of file naming conventions.

do you have an update on how secondary is coming along?
my guess then it just needs more time.
as another commenter said it, likely around two weeks, perhaps 3?checked my book: it says 4 weeks at 3°C, so maybe 1-2 weeks at 10 degrees. I'd just open a bottle after like 10 days to see where it's at.
how much sugar ended up per bottle? my book says 6.5g/l for a light lager during secondary. also what are your temps?
wouldn't use it as it is but use it as an adjunct when you brew a similar style. fresh malt has plenty of enzymes to convert the additional starches.

i use a false bottom, something like this

i also have this one (but never used it 🙄)
