Just hired a 21yo for their first job. What basic professional advice do they need? Here's what I tell all my new staff, but perhaps you can add. I'll start small. 1/ Use an online calendar. Have a foolproof system of reminders, so you never forget a deadline or obligation.

Interested in learning about network science? There's no better opportunity than CNWW! We'll be live & in-person this winter in beautiful Quebec. And the best news??? We're waiving fees for all participants. Just pay travel to Canada. My dms are open if you have questions.

Our review+perspective paper on "Current and future directions in network biology" is online (arxiv.org/abs/2309.08478). This has been a Herculean effort by many co-authors, thank you all! Special thanks to Marinka Zitnik, Michelle M. Li (李敏蕊), Aydin Wells, and all section coordinators.

Hey, I see a lot of students trying to use ChatGPT to rephrase technical writing when English is not their first language. Almost always, this produces flowery and confusing language that messes up some of the technical concepts. Just a PSA: Grammarly is still way better for this
