Thanks for the share, Sven! We had a really rough time with the reviewers on this one, but I hope it convinces some in the community that RINRUS can improve the quality and reproducibility of QM (and someday soon QM/MM) enzyme models

my 10 year old wanted to be Rumi for Halloween at 7 PM last night and then was sullen about not wanting to be Rumi for Halloween at 8 PM last night. Women, am I right?

Learn to say no
Don't be afraid to ask "am I allowed to say no?" If not, then don't say no.
Invite yourself to stuff (workshops, conferences, seminars, residencies) shamelessly
Invest in good furniture
Personally meet anyone you expect to recommend as a reviewer for your biggest grant proposals.
