During the meeting, some speakers shared their experiences in scientific publishing (which is crucial in science and has practical implications in academia). A highlight is that the speakers emphasize the need to be persistent while pursuing a research idea. For example, Prof. Gasteiger shared that his most cited paper was initially rejected for publication three times. This message is crucial for students and young scientists who often get discouraged by the rejection of a submitted manuscript. The message is that 'persistence pays off'.
