The Best Scientists 🧵

I have heard a lot about the Best Scientists 🧑‍🔬

Maybe the best scientists...

publish in gilded journals,
garner millions in funding,
with lots of indirects.
And prizes, all the prizes🏆

And everybody respects them.

Culture is the behavior you reward and punish. Culture isn't what you claim your culture is on your web site. Culture isn't established by 2-hour mandatory training workshops. Worth reading this piece by @jgoldfein #psb19 https://t.co/RdBQt2JEVH
