citing Nobel laureate's take on "if I'm working today I won't..." is not too convinsing
>In my day you could get a faculty job with 0 postdoc papers
can't imagine how that would work today, the world changes why science as a social activity that has costs can be immune to the change?
Too bad while bad music and bad novels only take up some shelf space and make searching a little harder, science projects costs $$$ and so the real Q is how to distribute $, current approach is not that good and gatekeeps some good stuff out, but what's the alternative?
It would like his solution is to somehow have perfect foresight as to which researchers will produce Nobel quality work. I don't see anything practical proposed.
