For those @IGAC_ECS attending the @IGACProject #ECS short course, do make sure to give the #UpGoer5 challenge a 1st attempt or two in advance via @theosanderson's text editor (linked below). I've left one I wrote for my #PhD thesis there as an example: splasho.com/upgoer5/?i=GKx…
Essentially the challenge is to use the thousand (or “ten hundred”!) most commonly used words in the English language can you describe your #PhD thesis or area of science? (full list linked here: splasho.com/upgoer5/phpspe…)
This idea started from a comic strip by the engineer and illustrator Randall Munroe (xkcd.com/1133/). Here they tried to find a way to explain something very complicated (The NASA Apollo Space programmes’ Saturn V rocket) using just simple words. 
My heart is heavy today at the loss of Prof. Paul Crutzen, Nobel Laureate and a giant of both science & humanity, truly with no equal.
So many profound contributions: ozone layer chemistry, nuclear winter, #Anthropocene, +

2/ "He was the first to show how human activities damage the ozone layer. This knowledge ... was the basis for the worldwide ban on ozone-depleting substances – a hitherto unique example of how Nobel Prize-winning basic research can directly lead to a global political decision.”
3/ “Paul Crutzen was also a pioneer of the sciences focusing on the impact of human civilization on the environment, whether through his findings on the destruction of the ozone layer or through his later scientific work on human-made climate change."

In #atmoschem, collaborative field & lab campaigns are a great way to move science questions forward. But these studies create challenges for credit and coauthorship. Following conversations with @chemdelphine, here are a few thoughts about collaborative writing #academicchatter
1. In general, err on the side of generosity. People should be rewarded for their efforts. Lab and field measurements take a LOT of work - even operating commercial instruments requires extensive preparation, calibration, troubleshooting, and data analysis.
2. Coauthors should make meaningful contributions to a paper and authors should provide others with an opportunity to do so. Data collection often warrants co-authorship, but measurement makers should still contribute directly to the science by providing meaningful feedback
