Do you have advice for young scientists?

"Be clear with yourself about what exactly you want to do in the long term. Know how you want to affect the world and what you are passionate about. Ignore boundaries and pursue what you want most to do.",

maus hábitos

as coisas piores na vida são más. e más de facto: crónicas e invalidantes. as outras,
as que demoram mas eventualmente acabam por cessar,
um dia, quem sabe,
são chatas.
chatiiiiiinhas, ou chatíssimas até. mas
só isso.

nós é que,
simplesmente,
nos habituámos a não ter paciência para a chatice.
