Being a scientist working on a lot of projects at once is really fun until you get so sick you can't even read a text on a phone for two days and your email inbox becomes a disaster zone

This is seismic news for fisheries scientists. Northern cod is *the* iconic symbol of total fisheries collapse due to overfishing (and other factors) *and* the iconic symbol of a complete failure to recover for decades afterwards. This is like announcing the complete recovery of bison on land.

The advice I give in my training sessions: If you’re funny, be funny in your talks. If you’re not funny, don’t try to be funny in your talks. *Hand raises* You’re about to ask me “what if I don’t know if I’m funny.” That means no one has ever told you you’re funny. Sorry, you’re not funny.
