'Disruptive' science has plummeted — and no one knows why.

Research in the 2000s is much more likely to incrementally push science forward than to veer off in a new direction.

Science is unbearable if you hold off on celebrating until the publication of a big paper. The more we enjoy the process, the happier we are..
Celebrate the interesting group meeting, the preparation of a new presentation, the new technique, & the progress our friends are making.

If you don’t feel stupid doing science you’re not trying hard enough.

Solid organ transplantations can save lives, but require immunosuppressive maintenance to avoid the risk of rejection. Sangamo’s scientists describe the preclinical data that allowed its lead CAR-Treg program, TX200, to enter the clinic. Read more: https://t.co/mbJP7AmJNK

So I hear doctors say a lot of the time that half of what they learned in med school has been rendered obsolete and/or untrue and I admit I've been skeptical about the "half" bit and then a paper like this goes and shows up and now half seems conservative

Advice from Elon Musk.

'Don't ever attach yourself to person, a place, a company, an organisation or a project.

Attach yourself to a mission, a calling, a purpose only.

That's how you keep your power & your peace.'
