Is everyone else getting human verification screens when they just open a normal journal article url? Not downloading the pdf, just clicking to the article from a TOC email say? I feel like this is new this year, and probably reflects what @carlbergstrom.com is talking about here.

Live your life with lots of egrets, not lots of regrets. #Deep #Photography
A photo of the bare branches of trees sticking up out of a pond of water. Among the branches are numerous (12) white egrets. Some are looking out while others are cleaning themselves. The birds are reflected in the water. Behind the pond are green trees and grasses illuminated in a warm tone from the setting Sun.

Advice for new PhD students: choose a mentor who is committed to your training, not just your project. The most important product of your PhD - even more important than the science - is YOU, a newly trained scientist.
