If YOU decide that YOU want to work 80 hr/wk, go ahead, that's YOUR decision and Twitter should leave you alone. If, however, you perpetuate the idea that in order for anyone to be successful they must work 80 hr/wks, Twitter will (rightly) relentlessly deride you. Send tweet.

As a structural biologist I am frequently frustrated by the lack of accuracy with which the DNA double helix is depicted. It's an iconic structure, yet so easy to get wrong. In icons, logos, illustrations, decorations, and unfortunately too often condoned by scientists. (1/15)
