Ok here we go. Look at the electoral maps by county for the last few decades of US presidential elections.  You’ll notice that the South goes almost uniformly Republican red every time. Duh. But if you look closer, there’s something else there ...

Today we mourn the loss of Professor Angelika Amon. She was a remarkable person, an incredible and creative scientist, a lively and spirited colleague, and devoted mentor. Her impact and legacy live on, and will be perpetuated through everyone she touched.

Very good thread for young PIs and aspiring scientists. The one thing that's difficult to keep today (as opposed to 30 yrs ago) is a focus on Science v career, discovery v publication. If one understands this, maybe u can enjoy Science for a long(er) time

1. One thing that I think about more as I get older is how to sustain the curiosity, focus, & drive that is required from a successful scientist over a very long career. The problem is that we train earlier on in our careers to be sprinters but we need to become marathon runners.

The current culture of science favours those who publicly project supreme confidence in their findings & impact. But caution/doubt are necessary traits for a 1st rate scientist. A worry is that young scientist who are careful & cautious will start thinking science isn't for them.

An unfortunate consequence of the arms race of scientists overhyping their work is that those manuscripts now written in a cautious & honest way acknowledging previous findings & taking care not to oversell are often editorially rejected for "not being very exciting or novel".

And Initiative 2 is exactly this -- once we get the details worked out, @eLife will begin offering a service by which we will review papers posted on @biorxivpreprint without triage (there will be limited capacity, but it will be 1st come 1st served)
