I am proud to appear as the seasick scientist on left of this picture, filling in a data log (clipboards still in use in 2025) of my guess at where the hell we were out in the pacific!
In my latest for @nytimes.com, scientists and Indigenous sailors in the Marshall Islands are studying seafaring and the human brain. I became completely fascinated by navigation while reporting this story.

I don't know who needs to hear this but: there are many ways to be successful in science -- think about what you want to achieve, how you can achieve it, and aim for that.
This is such a horrifically bad idea that I don't even know where to begin.

Oh wait, yes I do. I wrote a whole article about it last year: www.thetransmitter.org/publishing/a...

Researchers welcome the initiative, but say it doesn’t go far enough to capture the nuance of researcher productivity and impact.
