Not exactly advice I give, but I believe this period is shaping the next gen of scientific leaders with unique skillsets. I wrote a bit about it here: uncultured.carinilab.com/p/an-open-le...

Cow Tools!

We have lived alongside cows for nearly 10,000 years.
We breed them and exploit them

It is now, only now, that we have discovered THEY CAN USE TOOLS

Here I describe our study

A realist is the greatest optimist because even in bad times (l promise you life is full of those) he sees it could be worser than that and remains positive. Good morning

Sadly, the Editors at PNAS rejected our initial introduction, which was a David Attenborough style voice over of the microbial Serengeti (included below)

When they say Insecticide Treated Nets (ITNs) are not effective in #malaria control i show them this picture. You have to account for gaps in protection where the person is exposed to biting. Therefore, its not conclusive to state #ITNs are not effective where there is sudden rise in malaria cases

Whenever Maresca opens his mouth the more I hate him. He needs to talk to a pr person at the club to check on how he speaks to the fun. He is so full of nonsense #CFC

Never owning Mateta again. These two DGWs have been tough to watch #fpl

Hate Maresca ball with passion. Nothing more than side ways passes snoozing ball. Can't wait to see him fail and sacked #cfc
