Vladimir Yow: The single best advice i could give is learn to give good talks. And the second best advice is, learn to write good papers. There are very good examples of people saying something in such a compelling way that everyone caught on to it and no one paid attention. You'd be surprised at how often that, how important that is.
Welcome to the May 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). I take the large number of questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable size — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
