And \textbf{of course we need to write papers}, not only because we are excited to share our findings, but also because scientific papers are the currency of the academic world.  It's obvious that scientists are always on the lookout for tools that can improve their work flow: one of these tools is \href{https://www.authorea.com}{Authorea}.
