Scientific publishing is now an industry. Students write to graduate. Academics publish to survive. Journals accept to profit. Everyone’s producing, but almost nobody is reading. When did it change from the creation of knowledge to a thriving business sector, in which shady

One of the biggest challenges to fixing academia is a fundamental structural problem: it's really hard to switch jobs. There are very few (good) jobs. The main job market is once a year. Jobs tend to be in different cities/states. Moving costs a lot of money (plus housing

✅✅ A reminder by Dr. Rahaf Ajaj: She wasn’t on the Stanford list… but she made it to the Nobel stage. 🏅 Mary E. Brunkow, one of this year’s Nobel Prize winners in Medicine, has only 34 published papers and an H-index of 21. She never appeared in Stanford’s ranking of the

Good thread I think a related issue is that most students are not serious about their research. Most are somewhat achievement-motivated. But they aren't deeply trying to understand anything, and rhat shows in their actions/output

Frequent convo between me and PhD students Me: "After 400 hours of data analysis on industry X, have you talked to anyone actually working in industry X" Student (S): "No" Me: "Why not?" Student: "Where would I find someone in industry X willing to talk to me"

Formal math and statistical testing force you to admit frequently that you are mistaken. Trying to think about social issues without this safety net is extremely perilous.
