ecologist #Barbie: struggling with choosing an aesthetically pleasing experimental design setup when you know a bucket, duct tape, and trash bags will get the job done

academics anonymous: every time i have to ask for a letter of recommendation for some amount of funding, i feel like a lil schoolgirl asking for a gold star on the good behaviour chart

Out today in Nature Biotechnology! PhD students & postdocs: there's a trick – overlooked and underused – for having new ideas in the creative process. Talk science 1 on 1 with a science buddy that you trust and think of it as an improvisation. nature.com/articles/s4158…… Martin Lercher
