Scientific publications are too dry. Too much math, too little emotions. Science needs emojis! Leave a small heart to value the hard work gone into a paper (Smith, 2014 ❤️ ). Flag self-citations as in (Sixt et al., 2019 🤳) Finally, you can express what you truly think directly as in (Wakefield et. al, 1998 🤦). We could also indicate, how thoroughly we read papers (Van Wesel et al., 2014 🙈)

See example.tex for basic usage.
