This is super thoughtful. Are there initiatives on the 50 year time scale YCR can seed and get behind that would help?
UCLA's budget is several orders of magnitude larger, so let me turn that around: what can UCLA do on that timescale?

Well I think this elsevier move is a good start and totally agree with your diagnosis. I think the big thing is around promotion and incentives and it’s hard for UCLA to do unilaterally in the current academic environment.

As far as I'm aware, all YCR research is made openly available (modulo privacy and similar issues). And it's the best research environment I've ever heard of, in the world, for recognizing non-traditional outputs.

We could use some YCR funding. Or UCLA for that matter ;)
