I started a PhD on the boundaries between mathematics and biology.
I quit soon after finding out that my (mathematics) supervisor had been actively blocking me from communicating with biologists, including blocking meetings with my (biology) co-supervisor.
I gather they thought real, practical concerns would be a distraction from the purity of theoretical problems.
