1) Single-photon radiation damage to most biologically relevant proteins is negligible both for soft X-rays and VUV photons.
2) Ergodic fragmentation processes lead to entirely different mass spectra than non-ergodic ones.
3) Radiation damage mechanisms in solid state proteins at low temperatures are intermediate between gas-phase proteins and solid state proteins at room temperature.
4) A planet which is very liquid water-rich may have lower probability of life presence compared to other Earth-like planets. (A. Witze, Nature, 551, 421 (2017).)
5) Nothing is more permanent than a temporary solution.
6) In ion trap mass spectroscopy it should be obligatory to mention buffer gas timing and pressure in publications.
7) Intensive space exploration is impossible without humanity being under great pressure.

8) Most experience is gained when almost no results are obtained.
9) The quality of a scientific journal should not be judged only by its impact factor.
10) The total lifetime loss by humans waiting for airport security checks is orders of magnitude larger than the lifetimes lost in terrorist attacks.
