Not the flower. The iD. 🌸
Although a desk orchid is always appreciated too!
Most of us entered research because of curiosity — the excitement of asking questions and exploring the unknown.
As careers progress, it’s easy to lose sight of that original spark.
Has your curiosity changed since you first started?
Friday Food For Thought...
Scientists love science, so why isn't it shared more?

Science is a language of its own, and it is important to use the correct language depending on the audience.

Bad communication can lead to mistrust and risking your credibility.
But no communication makes a vacuum and you are invisible.
So, is it better to be bad at science communication or not communicate at all?
One of the greatest science communicators of our time, Sir David Attenborough, turns 100!
Certainly a day to look back on all that he has achieved and the positive impact he has made on the planet.
Who else is in the same mighty category as Sir David Attenborough?

Why every researcher should have an ORCID iD:
@orcid.org
1. It's often required by journals, institutions and funders.
2. It makes your work more visible.
3. It connects your research activities in one place (less faff).
4. It follows you throughout your career.
5. It's free!
