Now it's time to share some tips on how to write, as given to me by my advisor:
"Simplification is always good. You should assume* that the people who are reading your work are stupider than you."
I'm not sure if I should take that as a compliment or an insult.
*And people wonder why scientists tend to be arrogant. With training like that, how can we help it?
