If you have a leadership job, then you also have a kindness job. Yes, there is work to get done and goals to meet. But we also have a responsibility to leverage our authority and decision making capability to uphold human dignity.

If you’re choosing a research group to join, pay just as much - if not more - attention to the culture and mentoring style in the group than the research. You can succeed in lots of research areas or projects, but it’s tough to succeed in an unsupportive environment.

When we don’t pause to consciously set our goals and metrics of success, we default to the goals and metrics of those around us, which may or may not actually take us where we want to go.

Every person who you mentor is a unique individual, and none of them are you. Mentoring isn’t about sharing what you would do, but exploring what’s best for them to do.

There is no such thing as a perfect leader. In fact, if someone claims to be a perfect leader, they are probably not even a good leader, as they lack the self-awareness needed to seek out feedback and continue to grow and improve.

We can’t always leave a toxic situation, but when we do, it is not running away or quitting. It is intentionally considering the options and choosing something better for yourself.

Reading is progress. Collecting data is progress. Downloading papers is progress. Emailing is progress. Note-taking is progress. Writing is progress. Teaching is progress. Deleting is progress. Referencing is progress. Rewriting is progress.

Mentors can’t achieve your goals for you, but they can: -help you focus on what you want to do -inspire you to believe in what you are capable of doing -offer practical supports to equip you for success And we can each do these things for someone else.

An exam topper won’t judge you if you fail in your first attempt. An entrepreneur won’t judge you for trying something new and working on your dreams. It is always the people who couldn’t do anything worthy in their life, telling you that you can’t do this.

Knowledge grows when you ask stupid questions. Stupidity grows when you don't ask anything.

To learn well, don’t just read the textbook—argue with it.

Why memorize facts when the rules to create them are so much more fascinating?

Compare less. Reflect more.

Know how to solve every problem that has been solved.

Question authority. No idea is true just because someone says so. Test ideas by the evidence gained from observation and experiment! If a favorite idea fails a well-designed test, it's wrong.

Questions drive progress more than answers ever could.

We have this terrible struggle to try to explain things to people who have no reason to want to know.

Be humble. Be teachable. The universe is bigger than your view of the universe. There's always room for a new idea.

What is not surrounded by uncertainty cannot be the truth.

Focus is the key.
