Watch the video and read the article. The all-star group of authors make the argument that science is suffering by not including all of our nation’s citizens in this enterprise. And we dont have to be passive pawns, we can take action now. Joe Biden President Donald J. Trump

If budgets for NIH and NSF increase dramatically... could we talk in advance about not using the money to train more PhD students and postdocs, and instead figure out how to systematically encourage staff scientist positions? Ideas beyond just individual PI decisions?

@hm_voss Its always like this when you do research. You *just choose* some rabbit hole and tell everyone thats where you wanted to be from the beginning 😄. It's good to see many rabbit holes initially, because you'll learn a lot of concepts which *will* add up unbelievingly in the end.

What an apt message to academic administrators. So much neater to manage little boxes. But they wouldn’t know Feynman because he’s not in their field. He was a universally recognized genius (oh, yes, Nobel too).

Applications for the Stanford Science Fellows are now open! An excellent opportunity for graduating PhD students and early postdoctoral fellows! See more at Stanfordsciencefellows.Stanford.edu
