I think all scientists should read this website on how to climb up the #ladderofabstraction using graphs. It beautifully illustrates what everyone ostensibly already knows. worrydream.com/LadderOfAbstra…

How to add "Figure A1" etc in your MicrosoftWord appendix. shaunakelly.com/word/numbering… (I've recently started using #Word after using LATeX for years...)

How to get Section 1.2.1 etc to show up in your Word document: blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/timid/2013/08/… (it's worth starting with a journal's template when doing this)

Is your workload sustainable? "What do you do when you’re in a place, a system, or situation with which you disagree but that supports your very presence?" doi.org/10.1016/j.onee…

One of the best reads if you want to quickly come up to speed and nerd out about the physics and methodology to testing masks. Greg Smallwood, Ph.D. and team did a really great job summarizing it all. nature.com/articles/s4159…

#DHL has left my equipment at customs for SIX WEEKS, putting our whole project at risk. This type of paperwork (ATA carnet) normally gets cleared in a day. Every time I contact them I get a new excuse. Unbelievable. A whole project at risk now. DHL Express DHL Canada Help

While reading literature, I regularly see American papers citing American work, Europeans citing Europeans, and Asians citing Asians. Surely someone has once tested this idea -- meta-analysis, correlating authors' addresses with cited authors' addresses?

How to search for academics' consensus on a research topic you know nothing about: 1) Use scholar.google.com 2) find a relevant but old paper on the topic 3) click Cited By 4) Repeat #3 on the most highly cited, high-level paper result, until find a highly cited paper <5yo!

This paper shows that the effective density of any nanoparticle aggregate is 0.35x the material density *after liquid condensation/evaporation* (Eq. 15). It also summarizes the various equations that have been used to describe fractal soot (Table 1). doi.org/10.1016/j.carb…
