Might be useful for people working in #plasmonics and #nanophotonics, and one can make pretty figures like this 😍.

In every proposal we need to write a research data management plan but we are never asked for a #people management plan.

Funding institutions should care more about how we plan to #mentor our young researchers.

People are the main reason we do #science.
