As a forest researcher, I very often (far too often) encounter questions such as: What does a forest researcher do in Spain? Do you even have forests there? The international image of Spain as a mostly desert-like country, and mainly associated with sun and beach,has contributed to this stereotype.

The "publish or perish" culture must perish. Scientists need time to think.
We just published our Slow Science Manifesto, where we argue that huge changes are needed in the way we fund, publish, and evaluate science.

I love lipids so much! And seeing them appear as part of this work in Oded's latest night science talk was so exciting π
Also one my favs π I also made my list: "i dont know: that is the most important disclaimer", "the commitees will say youre not focused: of course what i did is ignore it"..
