Nothing wrong with studying this as long as they don't invent stuff. But

if you ever end up working on a tower or rooftop with a high power cell

phone base station antennas, do not put your face right in front of them

if they are on. Water has strong rotational absorption at microwaves

(continuous band starting at 1 GHz and up) and it can start cooking your

eyes (that's how microwave ovens work). Microwave radars even more so.

Cell phones don't produce enough RF to really heat up anything (low

energy non-ionizing radiation) or the base stations if you are a good

distance away from them. So, I am not advocating for these "5g

conspiracy theories" :-)
