Where is the the Nobel prize Winners/great inventors chart from?
The decay of the West, science edition: the greying of science. Where funding is going, and where genius is. You cannot "safe bet" your way to scientific progress. You have to be bold and invest in risky, youngsters with new ideas.pic.twitter.com/8Ke4ak409s

Can't say I'm surprised. The NSF keeps putting nonscientists in charge of all the funding. Since they don't know good science, they judge by how well the books are kept and rules followed.

I would be curious to see the Chinese equivalent of the first graph.

Don't forget that many institutes base tenure decisions on having an R01. Which means, a young PI needs to put a famous (=older) PI on their R01 to get a shot at tenure. This results in academic hierarchies based on power and not merit.

This seems to me to be artifact of there being more scientists in general, making it demographically more like the gen population.

I doubt there is less young scientists. It’s just that there are a lot more older ones.
