Dear all, this week we skipped our check-in moment. Check-ins are important for a variety of reasons: it is fun to know what everyone has been up to, and it is a great occasion to create synergies and ask for feedback or support. And, importantly, at the more
individual level, it allows each of us to take stock of everything we did in just one week: a well-deserved pat-on-the-back moment. In the busy life of academia, we rarely make room for acknowledging and celebrating progress (even when small), and focus almost
exclusively on what’s left to do (always too much). Finally, we are a group and it is our chance to bringing to life the group, even when each of us is working in different tasks and even locations. </div>
