Science is one of humanity’s greatest pursuits. Publishing, on the contrary, is simply a speculative bubble. Navigate the "system" as needed to survive, but never lose sight of the difference between true discovery and the game built around it.

Down to my last few post-it notes, that my group members made for me in 2014, after I got tenure at MIT. Each post-it note contains something that I said often enough, that my group members thought it would save me time, to simply hand out a post-it note, whenever the wisdom was needed :)
