- Oded repeatedly highlights the importance of not over-planning one’s career or path in science
- He stresses that it’s important to keep encountering new ideas, testing and failing and reacting with spontaneity. Like Maria-Elena told us, he says “sometimes you have to just go for it”
- He advises young scientists not to wait until you are completely ready but to apply for new jobs as early as you can
- Oded has a deep commitment to challenging established dogmas
- He tells us about why he spends so much time on Twitter and his use of the #physiologicallyrelevant hashtag
