"When I reflect on my career, I credit my mentors, collaborators, and trainees for much of my success. My time in the Wold and Reichardt labs imparted on me not only my love of science, but examples of how to run collegial, high-achieving, fun lab groups, and I have strived to do the same ever since. I have emphasised the importance to collaborate. Bringing researchers together who have different expertise and backgrounds creates a rich, fun environment and is a more effective way to do science. I also learned during my years as a trainee that science is very hard, and that if your projects are ambitious, many if not most will fail. As Lou told me a while back, batting 1 out of 3 in baseball is considered a great feat. Good ideas can come from well-researched experimental plans, but they can also come from something as vague as an informed intuition. So it is crucial at times to trust your training and knowledge, and to take a leap as Bertrand did. In addition, although it is important to have bold ideas, it is equally imperative to know when to let go of the ones that aren’t working out."

You don't have to be good at all things all of the time, just be good at a few things some of the time. In a lot of ways, the process of getting a PhD forces you to be a master of all trades. This is a necessity depending on the lab you join, their funding, and what other resources you have access to. In lots of cases, you’re on your own and the success of your projects depend on you learning new things, upskilling the lab and doing a lot of things without a ton of input from others! This is awesome and an essential part of the PhD training process because it shows you how to successfully work independently and learn how to be self-sufficient. You basically become an expert at learning and this skill will serve you very well in your future career. But it’s also easy to fall into the trap of thinking you have to be good at everything all of the time! That’s a high bar to achieve, and as your career progresses, it becomes increasingly challenging for you to maintain expertise in all things. At a certain point, you have to be OK with letting go and relying on others to fill in your gaps. But, this doesn't stop happening. The stuff you’re good at today is probably going to have to be let go in the future too! And so, one of the most important habits to get comfortable with post-PhD is to continuously review what you actually need to be good at in the moment. What you know and do today at the bench will be different from your duties as a manager, which will be different from what you’ll do as a group leader, and VERY different from what you’ll be tasked with as a VP or above. Maybe that sounds scary and uncomfortable! But I can tell you I’ve had a blast on that trip and I think if you embrace the uncomfortable-ness, you’ll enjoy the journey too!
