Well, that's a depressing read...

In other words, research produces an ever increasing volume of output, with ever decreasing impact on the world.

Many systems overtly value output volume for career progression. Is this really more valuable than novel, disruptive insights?

@UofGDeanGlobal @UofGlasgow Congratulations Prof & enjoy your retirement!!

[David Leonard @davealeonard]

@aisha_dickerson Great idea! I was the recipient of wonderful Thanksgiving hospitality from two of my Professors during my PhD, and those memories remain a highlight of my time living in Boston.

Surgeons, if you need motivation, look no further.

That takes me back...

On this day in 2008, I landed back into Reykjavik with a @qubmc_norm team after a month climbing in the wilderness of East Greenland.

Somewhere in back of this crowd, a small group of weather beaten climbers is feeling like they just switched universe!!😆
