Honest disclosure: These days it is tempting to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) as an easy way to respond to our Award questions. The spirit of science is based on honesty and inventiveness. We want you to respond in this spirit. However, if AI is used in any way, then as a budding scientist you know that you should provide clear attribution.
