\section*{What is the main takeaway from your current research and why is
it important?}\label{auto-label-section-587104}

Microbes rule the world!\\

\section*{Prior to using Authorea, what issues would you encounter when
writing research with collaborators?}\label{auto-label-section-345595}

Worst case scenario: we were emailing Word docs around. Changes would be
scattered throughout multiple versions, and it would be a huge headache
to sort them all out at the end. Best case scenario, we'd work together
on a Google Doc, but I HATE google docs. Formatting in them is
frustrating, and adding images inline is annoying. The default view,
which everyone else seems to prefer has annoyingly large margins, and I
found scrolling through pages to be super clunky. I know that there are
alternative views, but they are all unappealing to me. Writing does not
come naturally to me, and having everything shoved into one unwieldy
document was a serious psychological barrier for me.\\

\section*{Has Authorea helped with remedying some of those issues?
How?}\label{auto-label-section-366245}

Authorea is perfect for me. I love how I can chunk my writing into
independent sections; they are easy to maneuver through, using the index
on the left. I love that I can just drag and drop sections when I want
to change the order. Getting started is easy - instead of making an
outline and watching it expand into a big mess, I just create a block
for each section of my text. I don't know why, but that makes it so much
easier for me to tackle one section at a time. Adding images and tables
is a breeze, and the fact that the captions travel automatically with
the images is great because I like to write with them inline, but for
some journals, they have to be submitted all together at the end. None
of these are actually issues related to ``collaborative'' writing -
Authorea just helps me write. And, when I convince collaborators to give
it a try with me, they also find that it makes writing easier for
them.\\

\section*{What has inspired you to promote open science and how would you
explain its importance to a young
researcher?}\label{auto-label-section-653886}

I can't stress enough how valuable an open approach to science has been
for me. I share my experiences, data, protocols, even my lab notebooks
online. I have never been scooped or stolen from in any way. But, I have
helped many researchers avoid reinventing the wheel, I have started many
new collaborations, shared resources, received advice and help when I
run into problems. Because I'm open about what I'm up to, I have been
able to work with groups who have similar research interests to make
sure that we are dovetailing our efforts rather than duplicating them or
competing with each other. My social and professional networks and
opportunities have grown because I do open science. The science I do is
better science because it is open science. For sure. No question about
it.\\

\section*{When you're not Science-ing, what are you doing for
fun?}\label{when-youre-not-science-ing-what-are-you-doing-for-fun}

Whenever I get a chance, I play poker. Mostly Texas Hold'em.\\
