I met a scientist who was just trying to do good science. No Nobel prize fetish. No imposter syndrome. No deep desire for flashy publications. No venting about evil reviewers. No need to gossip about other scientists. Only doing good science. Like a psychopath.

"One, be a good person; two, have fun; three, be happy; four, show respect and be respected; and then number five was, if you can play tennis after that, it's an added bonus." This attributed to Ash Barty’s first coach. If we insert “if you can do science after that”…

Here’s a juvenile and adult Black-palmed Rock Monitor (Varanus glebopalma) from the same location in NT. Notice the diffs in tail colour and plantar scales with age. #WildOz
