A very fitting African proverb to #openscience - "If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."

Bohemian rhapsody for postdocs:

Is this a real job?
Or more like a PhD?
Caught in short contracts

Because I'm easy come, easy go
Stress is high
Pay is low

@PhilippBayer Hahaha how appropriate that they call it Mr. Sparkle!
