Finally got to listen to george church 's episode, some interesting quotes at The Night Science Podcast
'there's a difference between the ideas and the team, the idea, has a life of its own.'

Academia never says 'do something creative / take a risk'
1. Students: don't be too ambitious.
2. Postdocs: work on projects with a high feasibility
3. Asst professors: play it safe, get tenure
4. Professors: don't lose funding, go with the paradigm.
As told to us by Keith Yamamoto

George Church summarizes the power of the mentee-mentor team in this fun podcast episode ‘what's nice is if you combine the experience of an adult, even a senior adult, with the attitude of a child, that's far better than either one of them separately.’

I wish I heard this George Church (george church) podcast episode when I was a grad student!
1. You can change the world, as long as you don't care who gets credit.
2. The idea is not to never fail, it is to fail a million times a day.
3. Embrace the outlier!
