People who can’t handle criticism are unfit to lead. Weak leaders fear dissent as a threat to their power. They silence their critics to shield their egos. Strong leaders welcome dissent as an opportunity for growth. They silence their egos to learn from their critics.

Scientists are expected to do peer reviewing but no one tells you HOW. After talking with several folks about this today at #AGU24 , it seems a good time to link to this presentation I made several years ago -- feel free to use/share! docs.google.com/presentation...

We're used to seeing holly leaves depicted as exclusively spiny, but most wild holly plants have spiny and smooth leaves Common holly (I. aquifolium) changes its gene expression to produce spines in response to damage by herbivores. Each pair here is from the same plant 📷 Herrera & Bazaga 2013

In the past years, I've found using comic-inspired color palettes super helpful when creating figures for my papers. Just came across this one and I’m definitely using it next! 💡Any comic recommendations with cool color palettes?🌈 #AcademicSky @academic-chatter.bsky.social @thephdplace.bsky.social

On academic exhaustion: “I think what can happen in these large organizations is that things become harder than they need to be. Friction builds up over time, and people get tired of losing that energy to the environment instead of seeing the forward momentum [of their research].”

Derelict satellites pass within 1,000 kilometers of each other 1,000 times a year, and any collision would instantly double the amount of space debris. A space rush is filling up orbit with unregulated satellites, mostly from private companies, and we need better protections 🧪🔭

Academia is strange. Get enough publications in the right journals and you'll be allowed to lead a team. No one checks whether you have the skills to lead a team, of course, why would they? You've published in journals. This should work out just fine.
