This applies to all of us #Researchers - why do we keep flying all around the world just to give (or watch) some talks that could have been given or watched online???

And yes, you should feel like a piece of shit if someone calls you out on Nazi bootlicking.
That feeling is your brain telling you that you’re doing it wrong.
