How many papers are you planning to write by the end of your PhD?

And why are you planning that many?

[ariek_norford @AriekNorford]

@PhDVoice @PostdocVoice I'm hoping to submit one per chapter (so 4-5) by the time I graduate. One is under review now.

@ScrapNaturalist I used to write in "fun thing" on my to do list in between every few tasks.
