You only live once. And what can be more creative and therefore potentially impactful than research done for the pure joy of it.

(And that's why I love it here). Yes - otherwise, what's the point? Does anyone lie on their deathbed reflecting on their h-index? Hard to imagine. I certainly won't.

 @8599d6ab @5bafa990 no but you might wonder what it would have been like to continue doing well funded research rather than drowning in admin and teaching given to you because you weren't bringing in enough research income to the university. Sigh. Hasn't happened to me yet but I worry.
