Tips for success in #academia: * Don't aim for perfect. Or good. Or accurate. Just publish * Don't do what you think matters, do what gets funded * Don't be interdisciplinary * Don't criticise anyone's work, even if it's baaad * Don't be a woman, or black, or (worst of all) both

Symbiotic powder stretching arms 🙋‍♂️ Some lichens propagate by jointly packing a few algal symbionts in a fungal wrap so small to appear as a powder to the naked eye. After dispersal, they start growing fungal arms to embrace new grounds #lichens #soredia #symbiosis #cultures
