Accompanied by 10 tips for young academics, from the young Nordic and Baltic academies

Source of the tips: www.sciencenordic.com/academia-res...
The left side of the picture contains part of a power point slide listing 10 tips for young academics ("1. Be kind and build a good reputation, 2. Prioritise punctuality and reliability, 3. Understand the informal work culture, 4. Contribute beyond research, 5. Build a strong network early, 6. Embrace flat hierarchies, 7. Explore diverse funding sources, 8. Engage in interdisciplinary collaboration, 9. Learn the local language, 10. Adapt to local working customs"). Next to the slide, in the bottom right corner of the picture, is a man in a blue shirt and black jacket presenting. The background wall is brown.

5 lessons in how to nurture and support new young researchers from Professor Michael Woods at a seminar organised by The Letten Prize, The Holberg Prize and The Young Academy of Norway
A power point slide titled 'Five lessons' and containing a list of five points ("1. New researchers need to be given space to grow, 2. The research career journey is best done with fellow travellers, 2. Being a researcher is about more than research skills and new researchers need to be equipped accordingly, 4. New researchers should be allowed to shine, 5. There is a need for clarity of expectations (and for recognition of the virtue of patience"). Next to the slide is a man in a blue shirt and black jacket and trousers, and backs of the heads of several people are in the foreground of the picture.

I'm a systems neuroscientist moving from the mouse hippocampus to worms that glow. Because look at them, they're gorgeous!
A picture of a transparent worm with many legs is shown on the left, and on the right is another worm but only the yellow bioluminescence being emitted from its legs is visible. The background is black. The text across the bottom of the image reads "Gouveneaux & Mallefet 2013, Journal of Experimental Biology"
