Last week, #SMLMS2024 started! Considering we had an earthquake hitting Portugal just days before, we can say it was definitely groundbreaking. Hope you all had an amazing meeting!
Looking forward to seeing you again at Bonn's #SMLMS2025 hosted by @UEndesfelder and @HeilemannLab
Amen. When I interviewed at Bell Labs at the end of graduate school, I was asked to prepare a 45 min talk that took me 90 min to deliver -- thanks to all the interrupting questions and debate that ensued. It was fantastic! It meant that they cared, and they pushed me in directions I hadn't considered, despite being the nominal expert in my subject. Too often today when I attend a talk, many are not paying much attention (laptops and phones), and the speaker receives little feedback except empty compliments or a few softball questions at the end. Even worse, some speakers take offense at being pushed to defend their work, further stifling intellectual exchange. They should remember that constructive critics are doing them a favor, and that it is an extreme privilege to have the freedom to do science.
Same holds true when scientists post their latest work. Rather than empty compliments and congratulations, they would be better served by thoughtful criticism and questions. This is particularly true for preprints, where the hive mind of X could go a long way to turning a good manuscript into a great publication.

It's 2023, 109 years after WW1 started, yet the pre-WW1 imperial borders are still visible on the election map of Poland - and on many others, for that matter.
