@michael_nielsen Really, it's just that biologists are assholes...
#ASAPbio Physicists: physics so much faster & more competitive than bio, we have to use preprints to avoid getting scooped. Hmm. 3/

@michael_nielsen people need to realise that preprints are actually an anti-scooping device#ASAPbio -
@cshperspectives Social construct. If preprints are agreed to establish priority, yes. If not, no. A neat little collective action problem - 2 more replies

@michael_nielsen I bet there's more money in scooping bio vs prestige for being first in physics. -
@mtauraso In 99% of cases, a pittance in either money or prestige, in both disciplines. Most science isn't LIGO / the human genome - 1 more reply

@michael_nielsen@razibkhan physics culture pre internet was that depts used to assign internal #'s to preprints and mail them to each other -
@michael_nielsen@razibkhan dunno if something similar existed in biology, but preprint server was an natural step once internet came along
