Listening to @seanmcarroll's podcast episode on the history of funding in physics (https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2020/03/30/90-david-kaiser-on-science-money-and-power/ …) makes it seem like neuro is in a similar crisis of sorts as physics was.

Interesting to think of that deficit in terms of human brain capacity. As in how a single person can only grasp what ~100 people are doing at a time. Projects getting into the $20-100m range approach that cognitive bottleneck, so real organizational (industrial) know-how needed

Yes! Needed. But see for instance Intel, or LIGO, or CERN

I always point to the fact we talk (in grants etc) that understanding the brain is the greatest challenge facing science, but we don’t treat it that way. Instead we pretend thousands of labs working on thousands of bespoke research questions will magic this understanding
