The only serious answer for this is large quantities of assorted prescription mood and sleep regulating medications. Anything less is just empty pandering.
Folks who have completed or are currently doing their PhD: If you were to have received a small welcome packet at your desk on Day 1 of your PhD, what would you want it to include? Some ideas: Post-its, a fun pen, highlighters, stapler, candy. What else?

This feels like a weird moment to post a niche complaint tweet, but it is really annoying that @SciReports doesn't require authors to use line numbers but they ALSO don't allow reviewers to upload the submission with annotations. How are we supposed to make decent comments?

they should probably find a better pitch heading into an election year than “we can’t do popular things because of process but we’ll always do unpopular things despite process”

Odd Nerdrum has long been a personal favorite and I find Man Imitating a Cloud to be particularly arresting.
If you see this tweet, you have to mention one of your favorite paintings. I saw this painting by Gerard François, Flora Caressed by Zephyr (1799), at a super upscale fine art sale years ago and I’ve never stopped thinking about it. I wonder where it is now?

Editors: please also actually read the paper being reviewed and not just the reviews of the paper. Thank you. (I say this as a reviewer, not as an author dissatisfied with reviews)

Come hang at #IPFC next week! I'll be presenting on mesophotic squirrelfishes (and soldierfishes). Originally a Josh Copus joint! (wednesday @ 4:15 in Session A)

In honor of one of Hawaiʻi’s most beloved pastimes, I went as the @sunflykaraoke karaoke bee (fly?). And now I’m inflicting this on you.

Howdy #marine #sciencetwitter, is there something like a HOBO logger (temperature, PAR) that can go deeper than 30m? I'm looking for something I can drag down to 100–120 with me. Is there a little thing that'll do this or am I stuck lowering a frame off a boat?

New paper out on exploring #mesophotic reefs with #eDNA! We recovered strong depth-based biodiversity zonation at Hawai‘i Island, with community breaks at ~45–60 m across the tree of life. (not OA but ask me for a PDF if you need to) doi.org/10.1111/mec.17140
