Academic culture does a huge disservice by confusing “serious” and “boring.”
It is absolutely possible to be serious about your research without giving a boring talk. I fact, those who are most serious are those who care enough to engage their audience.

"Students shouldn't go out into life without the ability to communicate.
Your success in life will be determined largely by...
-your ability to speak,
-your ability to write, &
-the quality of your ideas,
**in that order**."

Famous rockhoppers collide. 🐧 We heard there was a rescued rockhopper in recovery at @PerthZoo who liked penguin videos. So we connected Pierre the penguin with a video of Wellington!
