Abstract In this manuscript, I provide ideas that may help early‐career colleagues on their paths in science, especially in research and academia. I discuss the inevitability of failure at times, the importance of finding great collaborators and mentors and making time for the things that bring you joy in your life, and suggest a few practices that I hope make us more pleasant human beings. I share a few difficulties I've navigated and advice I've shared with my students, postdocs, and early‐career colleagues through the years. I hope such thoughts are useful, and help others find the joy in being a scientist.

Abstract While much has been written about Professor Henry M. Stommel as a scientist, little has been said about his role as a supervisor of graduate students. I had been at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology only 5 months, with no knowledge or experience of the ocean, when Stommel suggested I search for internal gravity waves in Massachusetts Bay. This essay describes my experiences under Stommel's tutelage.
关于Henry M. Stommel教授作为一名科学家的事迹有很多，但关于他作为研究生导师的角色却很少有人提及。当斯托梅尔建议我在马萨诸塞湾寻找内部重力波时，我到麻省理工学院才5个月，对海洋一无所知，也没有经验。这篇文章描述了我在斯托梅尔的指导下的经历。

Abstract Perspectives articles pose a unique challenge for reviewers, compared to other AGU journals. Most scientific journals follow a fairly standard format and style, but this is not the case with Perspectives, where articles can take many different forms. Most scientific journals also discourage the incorporation of an author's personality, but for Perspectives it is requested. This means that reviewers have to evaluate Perspectives articles not only on the accuracy and validity of their scientific content but also on the quality of the storytelling involved, with an eye toward their usefulness in both documenting the history of our fields and in inspiring the future scientists of tomorrow. Perspectives is a relatively new and expanding journal. Last year we had 17 reviewers to thank; this year the number is up to 56. We are very grateful for the wisdom and flexibility shown by our reviewers, and the entire editorial board of Perspectives would like to express our deep appreciation for all the work they have done. Thank you!
