In 2018, three colleagues and I published a front-cover paper in @PNASNews

It has > 170 citations as of 2022, and it was a success that might not have happened:

• We had $0 budget
• We had no PI (Principal Investigator)
• We had no credentials

[Here's how we did it] 🧵

BREAKING NEWS:
The 2022 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Svante Pääbo “for his discoveries concerning the genomes of extinct hominins and human evolution.”

@LS2Switzerland Congratulations @kaushik34371359 🎉

I paid for my ug to take the GRE. He was living out of his car.

My PI found out. She reimbursed me. She promised him full part time wage every week as long as he did *something.* She paid for his grad school apps. He’s a world-class PhD student now.

It’s not hard to be decent.

Writing is hard. Writing concisely is especially hard yet it’s a crucial skill for scientists to develop.

This past winter, I wrote a paper to help: “Simple rules for concise scientific writing”

It’s now out and #OpenAccess: https://t.co/5ROg4Y30Pu
