The April issue of #ACSInfectiousDiseases is now out! go.acs.org/ctM The cover depicts the predicted structure of the key complex from malaria parasites that attaches heme to mitochondrial cytochrome c to support the critical function of the electron transport chain.











And my daily routine: I wake up at 5 am. Get to the gym at 5:30 am. While working out, I listen to a science podcast for 1h. Have breakfast and respond to emails at 7:30 am. Reach to my lab at 8 am. Work until 6 pm. Have a dinner at 7 pm. Read research reviews for 60 mins. Read a book for another 60 mins. Write down the work plan for the next day. 9 pm: I’m in bed, thrilled to start another super-day in 8 hours. ▫️ Sounds perfect, right? Except that this is not real. It’s NOT about me. ▫️ In real life: - I can get sick of office work - I can get sick of writing grants, papers, reports - I can get sick of working in a lab (hell, yes!) - I can get too tired for a gym ▫️ My life as a scientist is not about productivity. It’s about creativity and fulfillment. Such a daily routine can quickly exhaust us, mentally and physically. ▫️ As a student, postdoc or faculty: Do NOT feel guilty when you get sick of your lab duties. Do NOT feel ashamed of your slow writing process. Do NOT get upset by your mental and physical fatigue. ▫️ Your strength is in your personality and curiosity. Not a productive daily routine. #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter #Phd
