Had a few Qs recently about getting industry or consultancy part-time work during your PhD... I found this is a little-often discussed or taught topic.
Heard a couple of horror stories about people working up to 10 (!) hours a week for companies with *no pay*... (1/2)
I have two jobs. Both are about the same thing. Co-create innovative solutions to very difficult problems, test them with practitioners, and then pitch them to peers. Both jobs take years and years to succeed in. Luckily there are strong synergies!

Just heard an interview with James Evans on why science innovation is slowing down despite a great increase of papers and scientists (news.uchicago.edu/scientific…). I find his findings very insightful and I urge funding agencies and institutes to pay attention to his work. (1/n)

Massive thanks to @emclem16 for recording a really interesting session with me for my module next year exploring the #neuroscience of #entrepreneurship. A great talk!
I attended a fantastic workshop by @AnnaPloszajski on Creative Science Storytelling.
There were so many takeaways - but this screenshot captures one.
Why when science is done 'by people, for people', do we remove any subjectivity from the language we use in academic writing?
Great minds don’t think alike. They challenge each other to think differently.
The people who teach you the most are the ones who share your principles but not your thought processes.
Converging values draw you to similar questions. Diverging views introduce you to new answers.
