2024 - Thank you for all the lessons. 2025 - I am ready.

Why do some qualitative studies generate groundbreaking insights while others barely scratch the surface? The secret is not in the data collected, but in matching your methodology to your research goals. This flowchart might be useful.

Progress doesn’t come from waiting for our circumstances to change. It comes from changing our circumstances. We don’t need confidence to take a leap. We gain confidence by taking the leap. It’s never too soon to start pursuing a dream. The best time is not someday—it’s today.

To mark James Baldwin's centenary, I wrote a short essay for @TheLancet. On what he's taught me about responding to pushbacks. To beware of "strategic ignorance" and "the imaginary line of selective judgment". James Baldwin: ignorance, power, justice - https://t.co/Q0V6bvmKMC

No basis for claim that 80% of biodiversity is found in Indigenous territories. A much-cited statistic about how much of the world’s biodiversity is under Indigenous stewardship is unsupported — and could harm the cause it is meant to support.

Interesting new paper stating that the much-cited claim that 80% of the world’s biodiversity is found in the territories of Indigenous Peoples is wrong & is harmful to Indigenous conservation efforts https://t.co/r3GbEuVhE7

Simone Biles taught a valuable lesson at the Olympics: Overcoming adversity takes time. Resilience is not about how quickly you bounce back—it’s about how fully you recover. You can’t judge people’s strength when they fall. Their fortitude is visible when they rise again.

1. Being able to give & receive strong criticism is essential for the progress of science. If you believe something is wrong & can back it up with data or facts it is one's duty to say so. Even if it feels terrible to give & receive such criticism, scientists after all are human.

🚨Just Published🎯: Very excited to share our work in @NatureClimate We examine #assumptions on #public #engagement that might perpetuate rather than dismantle systems that reproduce #social #inequality and #climate #injustices. @IMASUTAS @CMS_UTas here: https://t.co/tJwBnb3yV3

This South African man, Ayanda Msweli builds houses for people through his foundation. People gift him money whenever they see him to contribute to his charitable works.

Science is a career full of rejection & self doubt. Most scientists don't go around collecting awards & kudos but sit there wondering if anyone reads our papers. Telling a scientist whose work you like that you value & appreciate what they do is a small & very meaningful gesture.
