In today's episode, we do a Q&A. We start with discussing what we currently are working on, what is going well, and what we are struggling with. 
Then, we address the following questions from readers:
- How can I select the right journal for my article?
- How do you handle recommendation letters, and what if the student is not good?
- Postdoctoral research
- How to develop technical writing?
- Will you start a podcast for MSc students in civil engineering?
We round off by discussing books we've enjoyed reading this year, as well as our love of the moment.
