Three shoulder surgeries later, I can attest to the importance of heeding this advice. I can't handle gill nets or long handled dipnets like I used to. – at Iowa, USA
Early career ecologists: take it easy on your joints. Recovering from shoulder surgery is really tough/painful. Know your limits and don’t push it. You have a long career ahead of you!
