All the people who were critical of not publishing paperzzz while I was simultaneously settling a family in to a whole new culture and language, doing and planning fieldwork, working on other people's papers, doing work to set up new equipment, teaching people field and lab methods on a 2.5 year contract and also looking for the next thing (fuck, still going).

....still haven't published anything or visibly progressed collaborations. More than the whole contract length later...

🤷🏻‍♂️

...someone asked me recently "why is the time from fieldwork to publication so long?" (often 5+ years).

The answer, in geographies and geophysics of sea ice, is that it is still a baby science. Unlike oceanography - thousands and thousands of people, long established methods - its a super small community making things up as we go in a complex system.

Sure, we *could* do a paper mill based on a few ice cores here and there and some satellite images - if we wanted to be misleading... 😬🙃
