Thank you all for the great reviews on my book! It always made my day to read new ones:)

Pro tip for writers: A very bad first draft is not a failure - it’s a great start, Congratulations! You can’t revise a blank page, but you can shape a bad one into something really great

Just finished Becoming Martian by @scottsolomon.bsky.social from Rice University A wonderful, deep, and thoughtful exploration of how generations on Mars might change us. Fascinating connections throughout. I learned so much, and it left me with plenty to think about! Must read!!

Interesting text from the MIT on AI in universities: We need more oral exams and more face-to-face interaction among students and with professors. aiandeducation.mit.edu/report/

English is a really hard language for science. Spelling often makes little sense, rules have so many exceptions, and even common phrases can be confusing. But AI can help non-native speakers spend less time fixing their English and more time sharing their science...

Great discussion here. Thanks!! I am working on a better version.

Good papers often have an hourglass shape. The Introduction moves from the big picture to a specific question. Methods and Results stay focused. The Discussion expands from the findings to their broader meaning.

Before writing an introduction, make a one-line roadmap for each paragraph. Then read only those lines. Do they form a logical argument? If not, reorganize the roadmap before polishing the text. 🌐🧪
