When I tell my colleagues that I'm going to be a dad soon, the usual reaction is "family comes before research" or "babies are better than science". This is indeed a nice advice... but it's noteworthy that it doesn't go without saying for researchers. #AcademicChatter
Thanks @elmerot !
I would rather say that I tend to avoid the kind of colleagues who would first ask if my wife can make time to raise the kids. But yes, overall, I have nice colleagues!

Regarding the balance between work and family life, I have asked the question around in the lab. The usual response was that it's difficult in the first 3 years, but that you learn to organize your work differently. What's your opinion?
