Actually the word "preprint" implies something before an actual publication.
I hope we eventually move to a "scientist-driven print" - a dynamic and a live document - that gets updated as we progress.
Course correcting is way better than an endpoint. #openscience #preprint #postdoclife #academia

The expectation that academics will keep working as usual (teaching, experimenting, reviewing) no matter what crazy thing happens never gets old - what the hell?

The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff.

Dr. Katalin Kariko's book is very inspiring for any scientists (especially relatable to first gen and immigrants). It's a great story of resilience and persistence that got me hooked until the end and gives me a fresh start for the #newyear highly recommend! #academia #postdocvoice #phdlife
