Nature has long understood what many research institutions and organizations still struggle to grasp: collaboration isn’t just ethical, it’s an evolutionary strategy. Altruism within teams may seem like a vulnerability, but across teams, it becomes a superpower.

"Imagine a lab member who consistently disregards deadlines, dismisses colleagues' input, or fails to contribute during grant proposal prep. These so-called “bad apples” can disrupt the team’s rhythm, creating tension that spreads." www.linkedin.com/pulse/where-...

To every PhD wondering about your place in industry: you belong. Your perspective is exactly what modern companies are looking for. Quote from Cheeky Scientist

No, you're not a leader in science just because you publish high-impact articles. True leadership involves inspiring people, fostering collaborative research environments, and driving positive changes at all levels, from staff to organizational.

I agree with you in regard to showcasing your work, vision, and mission. It is more important now, than ever, for society to come together. Through a deeper understanding of what you & other professionals do/offer, society as a whole can learn to respect and embrace your important role. Thanks

Strong interpersonal relationships, active mentoring and advice networks are essential for the productivity and success of interdisciplinary scientific teams. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

"𝘚𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘬𝘦𝘯." "𝘙𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩 𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦." These calls, even when well-intentioned, are vague, poorly supported by evidence, and counterproductive. We have imperfect systems needing reform, not extreme epithets or demolition.

Every scientist should have a page to showcase their work, vision, and mission. Initially, I thought that only celebrities could have personal websites. However, with the overwhelming noise on social media, it has become essential for every professional to have their own space. jadsonjall.com

As scientists, our journey is not only about acquiring knowledge but also about nurturing our character, values, and wisdom. To achieve this, we must develop our self-leadership skills. In science, self-leadership serves as the foundation that empowers us to inspire and guide others.

After years, Raoult's hydroxychloroquine study has been retracted. With serious flaws like absence of control groups and data manipulation, it influenced misguided COVID-19 treatments. Bad science has real consequences. Rigour and ethics are essential in research!
