All jobs have scut work. Don't let them define the job. We should teach how to ensure that one has the time to explore and think. (Like: calendar time to rest and read and think; tell others you're busy because it's in your calendar. Read a lot. Read outside your field.)

Jan 27

I wonder if we spend too much time teaching students how to do the scut work (writing grants, managing budgets, &c) and not enough how to make sure there is time AROUND that scut work. We should teach the joy that exists in academia despite the scut work.

Science is fine. We are still seeing unprecedented expansion in scientific knowledge - it's just in other fields than semiconductors and pharmaceuticals - take a look at neuroscience, AI, astrophysics, mesoeconomics to name but a few. 5/5

Importantly, the addition of incremental works does not diminish our ability to find and read "disruptive" works. There is good evidence that we need ALL kinds of science to move forward. journals.plos.org/plosone/articl

journals.plos.org

Consistent confirmations obtained independently of each other lend credibility to a scientific result. We refer to results satisfying this consistency as reproducible and assume that reproducibility...

Increased ability to publish smaller works (not lesser, incremental science is also important!) is a consequence of cheaper production. It has become easier to publish. Other examples: UK popular novels in the 1800s & science fiction pulps in the 1950s. Again, a good thing. 3/5

These data show that it is not that its harder to publish "disruptive" papers, but rather that it has become easier to publish "non-disruptive" papers. THIS IS A GOOD THING. 2/5

Papers and patents are becoming less disruptive over time

Finally read that "disruption paper" nature.com/articles/s4158 everyone is talking about. Key missed point: "While the share of disruptive papers has fallen, the # of highly-disruptive papers hasn't."

In #ChangingHowWeChoose, I argue that moral codes are toolkits ("technologies") that interact with our decision-making processes to change our behavior to enable us to work together so that "we all do better when we all do better."

Beautiful work! Seems to confirm our theoretical predictions from 2007 (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17638506/) tht extinction entails change in representation of state space, driven by decreases in dopamine. Reinstatement is fast due to recall of the original state. Nice when exps match theory

Stress-prone mice show more sensitivity to missed opportunities and less to change-of-mind decisions after accepting low-value offers. Stress responses may alter how and what we regret. #Neuroscience scim.ag/ib

And for everyone saying we should read every paper on a CV to judge quality for grants, first cull of candidates, etc, I don't have that kind of time. I'm already time-overburdened. (We all are.) CV is supposed to communicate general progress in a simple and readable format.

Oct 21, 2022

I applaud

@eLife

for taking the risk with their new process. We'll see how it flies. But we will now need to change the CV, which will now need to include the assessment along with the authors, paper title, and journal where it was reviewed. 🤔I can see how it could work.
