Say what you like. Here is an example of someone fully invested in their career. OK ¨invested¨ may be a loaded word for some, but what I mean is he must love his job, to be doing it this long. I know many countries have mandatory retirement ages. They see his kind of zest for his

For me the best thing about scientific research is the collaboration, the teamwork. Finding new things, yes is a thrill and of course the goal. When a project is led well, everyone brings their experience to build and discover. Satisfying. V happy to see this one come out today
“¨It is raised for us. Our arrival, expected. ¨ Gregory said, pointing to the top of a cerro. On it the immense flag followed the shifting breeze, signaling the regional authority knew we were arriving. The flapping flag symbolized the Spanish were sharpening their pencils and
